[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7401751, member: 22779"] It's funny. I got asked for specific criticisms, which I provided. Instead of actually discussing these criticisms, all conversation got immediately shut down with those who didn't like my criticisms basically either telling me that they never happen, don't matter or never happen at their table and thus, can never actually happen in the wild. Sigh. Look, I presented why I, me, myself, Hussar, don't like world building and why I think it's mostly a waste of time to feed the DM's ego. The fact that world builders point to works like The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings as examples of why we should world build just makes me dig in my heels more. The Lord of the Rings would have been a short story if I wrote it. I've tried to read it multiple times and every single time I skip entire pages because it's mind numbingly boring setting wank. The notion that this is what we should look to for inspiration as a DM is just wrong, IMO. It's a complete waste of time that would be FAR better spent on actually creating and running good adventures. [/QUOTE]
