The problem is, most folks clearly won't think to that level on the topic, as evidenced by all the "all we have to go on is what's written" comments I've seen on the subject. Or maybe it's more accurate to say that most of the comments to that effect came from people who don't want to think to that level on it. They had already made up their minds about 4e, and this was just fuel for the fires of their growing ire for the product.I think that's honestly a lot closer to the truth.Most of us don't play the Gygaxian Way, and yet what he wrote didn't deter us. I don't share the opinions of Wyatt (if that's really his opinion, and not something he was told to write or the words of an editor). I do whatever feels right for my players, and whatever works for the type of game I want to run, and sometimes those things change from session to session, let alone campaign to campaign or even game system to game system.So yeah, I tend to run 4e against the written advice, and so do the other DMs in my gaming group; what of it? It still works, it's still a great game to play (for us), and for the most part, my players seem to agree. I don't buy into that crap about 4e being a "bad choice" for some styles of play. The game is what you make it, and that applies to pretty much any game.</blockquote>
