[QUOTE="TeeSeeJay, post: 649233, member: 9969"] I've got to say that the response to my LCD comment is a bit puzzling. But hey, it's not my fault if you think LCD means "mindless mob." If your image of the LCD is a fat, sweaty, beer-drinking frat boy wholly consumed by the desire for football, date-rape, and brand-name products -- hey, that's not my responsibility. But I'll say it anyway. Lowest Common Denominator isn't elitist, and it doesn't connote a sheeplike mentality. It just means the largest group with something in common. For the RPG crowd, that's the d20 game -- or more specifically, the D&D game. Like it or not. Tough. That you all have something in common, and that there's a lot of you, doesn't make your choice bad, wrong, or immoral. It's the people OUTSIDE the LCD that are elitist -- the thin, clean aristocracy with country club memberships and who pay more to put a roof over their horse's head than you pay in rent. Maybe there's a class of gamer who's elitist, but it ain't me, babe. I play D&D, and I play d20 modern. I'm part of the LCD just like you. I started this thread to stir a discussion about how much is too much when it comes to d20 conversion, and is it always going to be worthwhile? A lot of you think it's totally worth it for your games, some of you don't. Me? I'm starting up a d20 Modern Dark*Matter game, so what's that tell ya? But enough with the LCD posturing. Get over it.
