[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 8899984, member: 5142"] You certainly seem to insinuate it (emphasis in bold, mine): There is a lot of loaded, derogatory language about other game preferences and implications about people with other preferences here. It may not be your intent to insult others, but I hope you can understand how people reading along would certainly get that impression. South Park is rated TV-MA, meaning for mature audiences. Avatar the Last Airbender is rated Y7+, meaning for ages 7 and up. However, the manufacturers' suggested age range for Free League and Paizo's games are virtually the same: i.e., ages 14+ vs. ages 13+, respectfully. You may believe that Free League does a better job at handling mature content than Pathfinder. That's fine. But it's also true that Free League, Paizo, and WotC all pitch their games to teenagers and older, which we know as per the manufacturer's recommended age ratings for these products much in the same way that the ratings tell us about the suggested age recommendations for South Park and Avatar, respectively. I agree that "Wanting adult focused gaming isn't offending anyone." However, making generalized and implied claims about Pathfinder and D&D's audience is. There are innumerate ways to state your preferences without insulting giant swaths of other people. [/QUOTE]
