[QUOTE="Warpiglet-7, post: 8251048, member: 7025282"] I found this to be an interesting read. Although I have enjoyed 5th edition, I think it gives me some insight into my rather vague dissatisfaction with it and much of gaming culture. i am not that old but have a more “classical” outlook and framework. I started playing AD&D a lot in the late 80s and early 90s even going so far as to stick with 1e over 2e. I bristle when I hear “telling your story” and D&D in the same breath. It’s cultural. In my gaming culture you will be a part of stories and maybe you will realize your vision and maybe you won’t. with some DM mulligans you probably will. But the world is just as real as your lone PC and will have something to say about your aspirations as will the dice. it’s the idea and perhaps and illusion that skill and luck will help determine where you land and not just your preferences. mid that the “right way to play?” All depends on your culture... can two culture join forces and play together? Of course! But they might like certain parts of the game more or less and certain dms more or less. [/QUOTE]
