[QUOTE="GameOgre, post: 7656220, member: 57914"] I have close to 40 years gaming and if there is one thing that 40 years has taught me that you might not be able to pick up in 5 years of playing it's this. Even bad DM's and players get older. I guess it's human nature to try and give our personal experiences more importance but time and age only guarantee that you have been doing it longer. NOT that you have been doing it longer RIGHT(not that there is a RIGHT way). I know one guy who used the game as a ego trip back in the 70's who now uses it as a ego trip today! In 40 years of gaming he has learned......to bludgeon his friends Ego even better! Every human being that doesn't die gets older very few(and certainly not myself) get wiser. Even gamers! In fact in my personal experience if you KNOW you have been doing it "THE RIGHT WAY" that is a very huge warning sign that instead you have just been sniffing you own buttocks too long because you liked the smell. I'm sure one of the Really old gamers will come along shortly and tell me with a few more years experience I might just see things differently, they might even be right! [/QUOTE]
