[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 9269912, member: 18182"] I get you feel that way, but . . . I'm still not seeing it. Without going back to those 2013 podcasts, did they mock your preferences? Or mildly poke fun at the game that many of them had a hand in designing? I suppose it's a question of interpretation or what we find (or don't find) funny. But I'm not going to be able to agree that the designers were purposefully mocking even a small percentage of the fan community. This reminds me when folks took umbrage at the cartoons released leading up to 4E's debut. The cartoons poked fun at earlier versions of D&D, and a few folks got right upset. I didn't understand the upset then either. But . . . WotC stopped putting those out after only 2 or 3 of them. I've got some friends who are outright offended by the sit-com The Big Bang Theory for mocking nerds. I love it to death, personally. [/QUOTE]
