[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 6242182, member: 48965"] I agree with all of this... and let's not forget after equating this to "brain damage", Edwards goes on to further equate it to sexual abuse of a 12 year old, I mean seriously, If you think the playing of an AP or a railroad adventure equates to the sexual abuse of a child I can't in any way take anything you say seriously. That aside, I think some people, such as [MENTION=42582]pemerton[/MENTION], [MENTION=463]S'mon[/MENTION] and [MENTION=87792]Neonchameleon[/MENTION] are missing the fact that while they may not enjoy playing in railroads with meta-plots and little to no "protagonism" apparently some/many people do. Outside of AP's by paizo we have all those [sarcasm]poor damaged souls[/sarcasm] who showed up to 4e encounters seasons week after week, and season after season (If only they had known they were being scarred for life!!). I also find it interesting that no one has addressed the fact that Vampire the Masquerade is credited with bringing an influx of new blood into the hobby that no other game besides D&D has matched or exceeded. Maybe, just maybe the people that are making the playing of elves "serious business" are the exception and most casual players just want to live out a fantasy "story" and aren't really concerned with whether they are leading or the DM is leading as long as they are having a good time. No that couldn't be it... [/QUOTE]
