[QUOTE="BroccoliRage, post: 3264570, member: 38402"] In any real scheme of things? No. It's just an opinion. Some folks may be overly attached to some things, but I think most people just shrug off opinions they don't agree with instead of really letting said opinions offend them. I started referring to 3e as d20 fantasy because the rules engine had changed largely. IF someone else had already done this, I didn't notice; I thought I was being original. IF not, then whoever said it first recieves my apology. I said it here actually. I still do refer to d20 fantasy by what it is for a reason: i know that many WOTC employees frequent this board, and it's a mild and civil way to express displeasure. If nothing comes of it, was anything really lost? It isn't snarky, but it does express an opinion. If someone decides to infer an insult, that's thier problem. It also looks like someone at the WOTC boards had come up with the same idea, only to refer to non-WOTC d20 material. Which is silly, if you ask me, because one of d20's real stregth's as a system is the OGL. 3e isn't going to fade away anytime soon with all the independent material being published for it. TSR should have had that idea themselves. By the way, I'm not a Dragonsfoot 'native', per se. I actually registered here at ENWorld and discovered Dragonsfoot from one of the members here. [/QUOTE]
