[QUOTE="The Shaman, post: 2264576, member: 26473"] I agree, [B]KnightSavant[/B]. I'm looking real hard at giving up on D&D and moving to C&C instead in large part because of the incredible bloat of player-oriented rules-options, and the sense of entitlement that seems to come with them. I think I'd rather use a system with fewer options so that we can focus once again, as we did in years past, on the adventure and not what neat tricks the PCs can perform. With that in mind I agree with [b]Celebrim[/b] as well. For me D&D [u]has[/u] cut its own throat: I'm not a gamer who plays lots of different systems, but I'm sufficiently turned off by D&D to consider leaving it behind and playing another game specifically because of the direction that WotC has taken with the game. I don't for a moment consider myself to be part of WotC's core consumers, of course: I don't buy settings, I buy one or two splatbooks a year at most and use only selected bits of each, I never played [i]M:tG[/i], and I'm not interested in running a half-dragon fiendish troll Fighter 3/Wizard 2/Eldritch Knight 7/Order of the Bow Initiate 3. Chances are WotC will never know I'm gone, and wouldn't miss me anyway if they did. [/QUOTE]
