[QUOTE="DanMcS, post: 2326583, member: 6530"] That's your problem, not his. Fantasy games are different things to different people, and if he enjoys it, what do you care? Is his fun hurting your fun? You can imagine dragons, wizards, clerics smiting with holy fire, and he can do all that plus big giant swords, and he's the silly one? Stuff like that has been fairly common in fantasy-related media for a decade or better; to a lot of younger players, big swords are associated with fantasy and games. They're not all Conan and LotR grognards. You know, the console gamers, the ones that think nothing of dropping 50 bucks for a game they'll play for 20 or 30 hours? The ones who are young, have disposable income, and are pretty much the future lifeblood of the industry, who might get involved with D&D, find out about all the wonderful stuff available because of the d20 license, and buy some of your pdfs? So why not contribute to the thread rather than threadcrapping and making disparaging comments? Or even read it and understand what some people like. Or, all the old grognards can flame the new guy and contribute to the reputation of enworld as a good-old-boys' club that doesn't like new members. Yeah, that's the ticket. [/QUOTE]
