[QUOTE="Cruentus, post: 8704145, member: 7034645"] Back when we played in the 80’s (dons old head hat), WE WERE the only group we knew playing DnD. WE were the community. The only others we knew about in ”the community“ were people who wrote into Dragon Magazine. We didn’t do conventions, the internet was but a wee thing. ”The Community” is now as large as you want it to be, and where you choose to engage with it. I could happily continue to game with my same small group (going on longer than 40 years) with zero to no influence from the outside world if I chose to (no one but me follows DnD news, or even frequents forums). The ease with which to find content, groups, opinions, etc. online now is super easy, and you take the good with the bad. I very often end up walking away from various fora and blogs because its too stressful (I’m also a Warhammer 40k/GW player, and that’s a whole other ball of wax). I don’t need stress in my gaming, other than what comes up in the adventures. [/QUOTE]
