[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 958126, member: 177"] Hm. An easy case can be made for a position. You cannot "make a case" for a question, so I'm not sure what you're trying to say. You pose questions of the form "If you think X then why such and such?" I cannot address those questions when I don't think X. I didn't say that I believe rules are not important. I didn't say that role-playing is the only point. Nor do I see how those things could be reasonably extracted from what I did say. Yes, many people play such that the details of what the rules say is an integral part of their experience. However, it does not matter if those rules have the "Official WotC D&D stamp", or are written by a 3rd party publisher, or are house rules. Um, yeah. That's why the do have errata and FAQs. [url="http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article1.asp?x=dnd/er/errata,3"]Official Errata[/url] [url="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/er/20030221a"]Offical FAQs[/url] So, you are complaining about the non-existance of things that do, in fact, exist? Yeah, and you shouldn't have to wait in line for hours at the DMV, but most of us still have to. Perfection is a very nice goal, but few (if any) ever reach it. Until Universal Utopia finally sets in, I'm afraid your going to have to face the occasional inconvenience. [/QUOTE]
