Nope, was just using your quote as a springboard as an example of someone who clearly didn't have a good grasp of the setting making broad sweeping claims about what the setting "should be". Whether that's limited magic, limited race palate or whatever. Just another person who hadn't done their homework about the setting.
Which, I suppose, that would be reason enough to get snarky. But, nope, not misattributing anything. You simply missed the point I was making, which was that I found it rather funny that people were making broad, grand statements about how the setting should be, without actually basing it on facts of the setting.
IOW, it would be very helpful to conversation if people actually bothered to read the setting first, rather than go by what they remember from thirty years ago.
Ahhh... So you think I don't know the setting and your condescension in the first post, and the second one where you accuse me of being "Antagonistic" and now -this- post where you're condescending to me as well, all springs from that erroneous assumption.
Right. Makes sense.
I'll tell you, now, that's an ugly and ignorant assumption to make. And it's even worse to keep it going through more, and more, and more posts.
Even now, after I've expressed that Orcs and Half-Orcs don't exist in the setting specifically because Weis and Hickman kept them out of the setting to help differentiate it from others. Even after I referenced the Irda and five Elf Races (Silvanesti, Qualinesti, Kagonesti, Dimernesti, and the Dargonesti) you still, somehow, believe in your heart of hearts that I don't know what the hell I'm talking about. And -continue- to condescend.
Man. That is some high quality something. Probably not allowed to say it, here.
For everyone's edification? I played Dragonlance as a Kid and a Teen in the late 80s and the 90s when I first started out. I read the books whenever I got my hands on them, before and -AFTER- the War of the Lance. (Though Dragons of Summer Flame really put me off the books when I finally finished it).
When my DM at the time mentioned that everyone in the tavern felt the earth shaking and one of my friends piped up "Duck under the tables, it's an Earthquake!" I quipped "Don't you mean a Krynn-Quake" and busted up 3 tables of nerds ranging from 9 to 40 in gales of laughter.
But this guy thinks I don't know anything about the setting. That I haven't read it.
Just -wow-.
