[QUOTE="Nifft, post: 3678899, member: 6562"] So you mostly avoid levels 1 & 2 either... like most groups, it seems. :) True, but that tends to require lots of hard work, which is very much [u]NOT[/u] what I want to model in my game. Hard work can happen off-camera. I do agree with him to some degree. :) Such escapist fantasy power-play pleases some of my players greatly at times. It's a good stress reliever, I think. [b]Everything written here is an opinion![/b] Even if people don't explicitly call it out as such. :) "X SUCKS!" means "In my humble opinion, X is sub-optimal for my purposes". At least, that's how I translate it. In this case, it's also a clue as to the desired tone of the conversation: "Why does X suck?" means "I have a bias, and I'd like opinions from similarly biased people regarding [b]why[/b], because perhaps we can fix this or better understand our bias". And plenty of threads for them, too! :) Particularly in House Rules these days, the E6 crowd has been quite productive. Cheers, -- N [/QUOTE]
