Some of us have only been playing since 4E, so we don't have a grand breadth of experience with running the game.I "collected" D&D books going back as far as BECMI, but my first true game experience with D&D was a single D&D Game Day in the death throes of 3.5, and then regular play in 4E. With no morale rules in the 4E rule books it felt to me as though there was a good reason for not having fights shortened from total kills. And I have at least viewed previous editions. Many DMs in 4E haven't even done that much.I'm sick and tired of seeing this attitude all around the D&D internet community at-large that those of us who haven't played for decades somehow aren't good or smart enough to play the game "properly." People whine that the hobby needs new blood, but then people tell the new blood that we're somehow incapable of playing properly because we don't understand the game like you do.I'm sorry to thread crap in here, but I've seen this general attitude repeatedly lately, and I'm tired of being told I'm too stupid to play D&D just because I need some help.</blockquote>
