Message: <blockquote data-quote="Quasqueton" data-source="post: 3015076" data-attributes="member: 3854">Do you describe yourself as a "grognard"? Most who do use the term for themselves seem to mean it almost like "curmudgeon"*. "The old ways/games were better, and the new ways/games are lesser." If you do not describe yourself as a "grognard", then my comment was not directed at you. It's great that you, too, can talk about one edition without insulting another.I, myself, started playing D&D in 1980 with BD&D, moving up to AD&D1. I loved those editions, and they still own warm territory in my heart. D&D3 is my current love, but loving the newer does not mean hating the older. Unfortunately, many who love the older feel they must hate the newer (and must constantly proclaim their hate).Though I prefer the newer for my current play, I do not deride or denigrate the older. In fact, I'm usually the one pointing out all the similarities with the two ages.I do not describe myself as a "grognard". Nor do I call myself "old school" or "new school". I'm "a D&D player".Quasqueton* Note my rewording of the earlier post. Change "grognard" to "gamer curmudgeon".</blockquote>
