[QUOTE="BroccoliRage, post: 3264884, member: 38402"] Yeah, but there's a flaw in that reasoning: First, stating an opinion as an absolute is not wrong on subjective matters: With my milieu/paradigm/idiom, whatever, my opinion is law and universal. In yours, it may be wrong, but to me, this is how it is. Saying d20 fantasy is not derogatory. I'm not going to call it d20D&D because it's not D&D to me. IF you disagree, that's fine, it doesn't bother me. d20 fantasy is not a second class game. it is not my game of choice, but even if it were I would still not call it D&D, because it doesn't fit with the previous examples and lacks the uniform compatibility. THAT is the reason I started calling it as such, not because I wanted toss dirt on it.There's d20 Modern, d20 Past, d20 Future, d20 Call of Cthulhu, d20 Whatever You Want, what makes d20 Fantasy so much more derogatory? I'll tell you, the reason they didn't call it d20 Fantasy is because Dungeons and Dragons is a name with universality, but to me it's more than just a name it's a series of extrememly similiar game engines. Playing chess and calling it Risk doesn't make chess Risk. They may both be wargames, but the similarities end. TETSNBN is just a joke. You shouldn't take any of it seriously. [/QUOTE]
