[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7418038, member: 22779"] Funny how all your definition jokes keep requiring the change of definitions of known words. I've posted the definition of world building, a few times now, and you've still insisted on the notion that your definition is the only possible one. Does make winning a discussion easier when you think that you can control what words mean. ------- [MENTION=85555]Bedrockgames[/MENTION] - what I would like to see is a heck of a lot less world building, both at the table and in publication. Instead of Dragon+ having 3/4 of its material (and Dragon before it wasn't much different) revolve around world building, focus more on practical stuff - things that can actually, directly be used at the table. Give me setting material in a form I can directly use - adventures are great. Setting guides that spend page after page after page detailing Elven Tea Ceremonies, not so much. Given that there are about 20000 pages of setting material for Forgotten Realms, do we actually need any more? Don't give me the history of that town, give me a town with 6 interesting locations fully statted up, with maps, that I can plug and play. Don't give me a Mordenkainens Monster book, full of setting crap that I will never use. Give me less monsters, but, in a form that I can just drop into my game with little or no work. As a DM, my advice is GET TO THE POINT. Quit faffing about with pointless trivia and trivial encounters that are immediately forgotten. Endless dice fapping to fill in the time between stuff that actually matters. Endless, interminable history lessons that are irrelevant to the game and just as quickly forgotten. Why faff about getting to the adventure? Just GET TO THE ADVENTURE. [/QUOTE]
