[QUOTE="Lwaxy, post: 6252531, member: 53286"] Well, not all the people I game with are friends. A lot, especially online, are acquaintances with the same hobby. Some of the other players I may not even get on that well, as such has always happens in gamer life. I don't have a close set of friends anymore after all the changes in my life, but if the few who I can count in would suddenly play an edition (or other game altogether) I don't like at all, I would wonder why they don't know me better. And if they want me in, why not play another edition? It would be the same if in my current fav game (Pathfinder) someone would come up with a campaign setting I really dislike. There is no point in playing if the game doesn't sound like fun. I can hang out with people again any other time. Especially when it was the 40th anniversary of the game (and thus all RPGs) I do not want to have a less-than-fun memory of it. That being rules I hate or a setting I dislike or a playstyle I can't make do with. So no, it is not "broken" to not want to play something you know you can't have fun in and would probably spoil the fun for everyone else as well. And no, I'd not do "nothing" rather than play the game. I have a whole lot of other activities to pick from - and yes watching a movie for a change is one of them - so I don't need to waste precious time on non-fun. There's LEGO building, other terrain building, glass painting, reading, browser games, sauna (and other wellness stuff) or just playing boardgames/cardgames (or another RPG) with family.
