The whimsical element of D&D vs AD&D

Poor choice of analogy, that "flatworlder" comment, because you're the guys suggesting that we're better off with less dimensions in the game. (i.e. Serious campaigns and good characters to infinity and beyond!)
You are exactly wrong on that.

I (and others) are directly stating that games with and games without silliness should be on the table. You are the one excluding the non-silly dimension.

Funnily enough, I honestly think this is the first time BryonD and I have agreed on ANYTHING gaming related in about three years. :D Thanks Rounser.
 

All this whimsy talk has inspired me. I gotta get a classic D&D campaign going again soon.

WAHOO STATE OF MIND
(To the tune of 'New York State of mind' by Billy joel)

Some folks like to quest all day
Take a holiday from the silly mood
Go straight faced and be a hero
Or be dragon's food
But I'm taking a jouney
With the Moldvay Basic line
I'm in a wahoo state of mind

I've seen all the complex games
In their fancy rules with their scripted scenes
Rolled the bones, knew the tactics, did the tourney thing
But I know what I'm needing
And I don't want to waste more time
I'm in a wahoo state of mind

It was so boring playing day to day
Out of touch with the hexes and mules
But now I need a little laugh and joke
The awful puns, the deadly ooze

It comes down to solemnity
And it's fine with me cause I've let it slide
Don't care if it's Moldvay, or random harlot side
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
I'm in a wahoo state of mind
