[QUOTE="Ariosto, post: 5013066, member: 80487"] EPT? Not, as far as I know, in any sense that would not apply as well to Blackmoor and Greyhawk -- so unless you have something most interesting to share, I am only puzzled as to what you could possibly mean by "story-oriented campaign". As I have not made any assertion that "one was rigidly confined to" any style of play ... and as what you have demonstrated is not a sound grasp of what my style of play is ... well, I am at rather a loss. The limited scenario is fine and dandy as a change of pace in any case, and an obvious necessity for a tournament. If you happen to prefer it as your SOP, then have fun and prosper. [B]"For everything herein is fantastic, and the best way is to decide how you would like it to be, and then make it just that way!"[/B] - D&D Volume 3, [I]The Underworld & Wilderness Adventures[/I] YOU, however, have indeed presented your way as the right way to play, the normal way, the expected way, the way other than which requires a special WARNING label. YOU have excluded, chosen a narrow way with no room for those whose way has room for you -- those you attack for the very wideness of their way, its openness to [I]whatever possibilities arise[/I]. So, what hypocrisy is this? I do not "utterly reject anything that stinks of 'art school'". I do utterly reject the pomposity of anyone who seeks to make pretentiousness mandatory for all who would play D&D. The egg-head-ism I reject is Humpty Dumpty's pettifogging semantic slipperiness.
