Love dungeons, dragons, fiends, amorphous-nonsensical-blobs, plane-hopping, psionics.

Hate excessive humanoids (especially of the LA +0 variety), boring giant improved grab/constrict/rend/big hug monsters, completely nonsensical dungeons, furries, and stupidly named monsters (arrow demons, bluespawn godslayer, ARCANISS??? gah!).
 



I think my D&D gamer license was already revoked back in 1990 when I refused to purchase Spelljammer, and if not then certainly it was when I failed to upgrade to 3.0 (much less 3.5) and stuck with my trusty 1E hardbacks and OD&D brown booklets. But, assuming I still had my D&D gamer license, it would surely be revoked if they knew that...

...I don't like rolling dice (corollary: combat is my least favorite aspect of the game).

...I don't like most of the creatures and races in the Monster Manual, especially all the humanoid races, and think each DM should make up entirely unique arrays of monsters to populate their dungeons and game-worlds.

...in most cases I'd rather read a good fantasy/s&s novel than play D&D.
 

I dislike both really bizarre races, which seems to be 90% of how some people play the game nowadays (include here any PC with a template), and the human-with-kewler-powers races such as those that dominate the Psionics Handbook and Magic of Incarnum. These seem to be two different sorts of crutch for unimaginative designers and players to me, quite apart from the fact that aesthetically I just don't see anything to like about them.

I'm not a big fan of alternate planes you can travel to.

I dislike the common tongue, despite its strong utility.

And... I don't like vancian magic. Even the sorcerer just doesn't do it for me. I can have fun playing arcane spellcasters, but they are the element most strongly unlike the settinfgs I wish to emulate.

Agreed on all of the above.

Edit: Y'know, this thread really warms my heart. It seems my interests really aren't so different from everyone else's.

I never carry a ten-foot pole. I'm of above-average height in real life, and I've carried 10' poles before. I can't conceive of lugging one through a dungeon or the forest.
 

I dislike the disconnect between the Half-Dragon template and the rarity of the dragons that can polymorph.
Accordingly, dragons IMC have a magic sex ray that turns the next offspring of a given creature into a Half-Dragon.

I dislike psionics. And weird races.
