[QUOTE="Abe.ebA, post: 2930429, member: 32545"] I hate: * hobbits and all stripes of halfling, though I hate the non-hobbity ones somewhat less * drow, regardless of their alignment * non-spellcaster-spellcasters (if magic is so hard to learn that wizards can't use a sword, how the heck does everyone else have time to just pick it up as they go?) * vancean (vancian? vanceian?) magic * 99% of d&d-related fiction * nearly all the campaign settings but especially Greyhawk and Dragonlance * the combat system * how d&d societies are usually described more like Reneissance or Victorian age culture but we don't get steam power or gunpowder * gnomes, gnolls, kobolds, orcs, trolls, owlbears, and most of the humanoid monsters as presented * furries and anything that can be refered to as anthropomorphic and wasn't made by some sort of wizard * how elfs, gnomes, sprites, and the rest of the fey are just humans with slightly different personalities * the RPGA * the lack of anything really fantastic in the fantasy. Everything, or nearly so, is acheivable or defeatable by the PCs, leaving nothing to awe or humble them. I love: * dropping un-statted creatures into adventures and letting them do whatever seems appropriately challenging at the time * mixing Lovecraft and Steam-/Victorian-punk with standard fantasy * weird environments * coming up with reams of house rules which will never see play because I realize nobody wants to be bothered learning them Oh, and I hate Tolkien's writing and studiously avoid gaming with total strangers (cons and the like included).
