[QUOTE="Dinkeldog, post: 2099634, member: 195"] Diaglo, please tone things down. First, believe it or not, it is possible for someone to be pressed for time because of real world matters. That doesn't make one lazy, as you imply; it just gives them other priorities. Many good DMs simply don't have time and don't want to do conversions themselves. Second, developmentally 6th graders look at rules as something you follow, period. Somewhere during 6th grade, as a rule, they start looking at all rules as arbitrarily imposed, so they tend to rebel against everything unless you can show a good reason for it to be there. Third, if someone's in a power-gaming, even munchkin game and it works for their group, so what? Don't play with them. Fourth, if someone's group gets enjoyment over "Monty Haul" stuff and having "over-powered" items for their level, so what? Don't play with them. Seriously, dude, you seem to go in cycles where you get really cynical and other people having fun seems to drive you insane. We're all playing basically the same game, but no one ever plays the exact same game. Let people have fun the way they choose, and try not to throw off the cuff statements around quite so much that are really kind of harsh and demeaning toward people that don't choose to play the exact same game you do. Lest anyone think that diaglo is the only one guilty of this, think again. [/QUOTE]
