[QUOTE="Cang, post: 4410678, member: 74396"] Well i am probably the minority here, but D&D to me is not even my back up game. I am playing (and gming) it right now because i know a bunch of people who want to try out 4e. My game of choice is Shadowrun. I love the setting, i love the realism meshed with fantasy, i love the story and the reason to have a character. D&D as a system to me was never very appealing. I personally don't like the duality that plays in alot of the novels and games (the good vs evil or this being is evil and this race is good). I know some will agrue with me about that but im not posting about how much better my game is versus yours, that just a silly conversation. All i am saying is i like the unique system (d6) i like the custom rules, i like the fact that the rules mechanic is made for that perticular game and the fluff and the crunch are one in the same. To take settings and toss them all in one rule system limits the creativity of the game setting and to remedy that then you will have piles and piles of races and classes and exceptions. Everyone has what they like and i encourge everyone to give other games a real shot (atually play more then one half hearted afternoon) and leave your perseption of how a game is suppose to be or how your setting is different form this other one at the door. And if you want more people to get into gaming, do something about it. There is very little people in my area that play shadowrun, so i go to comic book stores or speak to people i know and run games to introduce people to something i love.
