I saw somebody doing this bashing to 3e annoyed me all to hell but I reallly havent played 3e. I started playing a game of 3e thought that some interesting mechanical elements had been added but the game had a dm whose face was in the book constantly and teenager who just liked acting up.I think edition warriors get to be sublter over time this place seems to have a few pet trolls who skirt acceptability because it is an intellectual challenge... others blaze there flag in there sigs.. like one fellow who implies 4e fans do not want intelligent conversion just have their itch scratched.Some call that being a fan alcatraz is calling the healing surge mechanic because something like it is in 1 vg I think I heard the first person calling it video gamey ...say he didnt know any games with a similar mechanic... it was videogamy to him not because it had any association with videogames.... it was because it seemed a limit he didnt "get" making it arbitrary more like a game so video games are games that limit you so that must make it a valid comparison. ummm yeah and the hole idea of this term even meaning its like videogames goes down the sinker.Here is another quote.... A MontyHaul-Killer-ImaginationSupressingByTheBook DM & Unimaginative - Passive players can transform any D&D into some of the worst elements of video games. And AD&D was a serious offender... if you had the wrong people playing with you. .So saying "I hate D&D its a video game on paper" or the variants is not very far from somebody saying those who like D&D must like or be like the above.  No I would be incredibly surprised if people didn't see similarities... video games get more similar to D&D all the time.I am channelling my inner synic and he hasnt had his meds and resents implication that I should be tolerant I had to take ByronD off ignore cause he made some incredibly sensible statements.. which has the synic all  edgy. Apologize for excess hostility... happy go lucky be back later.</blockquote>
