[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 6250246, member: 2525"] Well, then I'd say know yourself better. You clearly had a lot to say on the matter. You go on for paragraphs after declaring how you have nothing to say. While you were busy having nothing to say when saying anyone who views things differently than you is stupid, or dense, or unimaginative, and should not be DMing, I think this paragraph explains it well.."But DMs still need guidelines, and hopefully guidelines that aren't quite as vague as the ones in the earliest editions of the game. And by "DMs," I also mean the professionals who write adventures for publication and organized play." I think, as other have said, you can add the word "new" to "DMs" as well. Guidelines are helpful. If you don't need them, great, If you can't see why they might be helpful to others, well, perhaps you should not then be calling others stupid, dense, or unimaginative. Physician, heal thyself. If you're not too busy telling us how you have nothing to say, and then typing out "sigh" and "yawn" or "beard rubbing". Unless of course you're a "new DM," or "professionals who write adventures for publication," or "professionals who write adventures for organized play," in which case the guidelines are helpful as a baseline. Unimaginative indeed. Nope. Not what they are saying. That part was a given. What they are saying is "what should be the baseline averages for the three different styles of games, so when we write professional adventures catering to each style, we have a baseline to provide as editorial guidance." Unimaginative indeed. Or, perhaps one of the other denigrating options you chose to describe others. Well, you said you would say nothing, so I figured out alllll on my own that you were saying more than you intended. I mean I don't know why you possibly thought we needed to know that you intended to say less given you told us a number you planned to say (zero) and then proceeded to say many things. What do you call it, when people spell out things you think are unnecessary for anyone to know? Oh right, stupid, dense, and unimaginative. Did I do that right? Sorry for the level of snark in this post. But I found the level of snark in your original post to be particularly unnecessary and attention-whoring, and decided to give you a small taste of your own medicine. Nothing genuinely ill meant by it - I am, for the most part, just teasing you with a mirror. [/QUOTE]
