[QUOTE="Psion, post: 120431, member: 172"] [b]Reasons I hate DL[/b] Let me count the ways: 1) My first exposure to DL was the adventures, which we quickly learned to hate. They had the tragic flaw of trying to follow in the footsteps of the book. It was a railroad fest of the worst order. 2) The fannish book adoration and attempts to invoke the books as law was much worse at its height than it ever was with FR. 3) One word: Kender. 4) Two words: Tinker gnomes. 5) And perhaps the most irritating of all, it poisoned Death Knights. It was bad enough that DL fanboys got the impression that Death Knights originated with Krynn, but subsequent 2e text was polluted with campaign garbage about Solamnic Knights, which of course only further muddled the thinking of clueless DL fans. For one, I was please to see a Greyhawk specific take on something -- in a recent LGJ -- to help correct the butchering of Death Knights. [/QUOTE]
