[QUOTE="Emerikol, post: 6019762, member: 6698278"] No thats not what I'm saying. You seem insistant on being offended. I'm not saying anyone is doing anything wrong because there is no wrong objectively. I am saying that for me it is wrong. Meaning I do not like something. And I may not understand what someone gets out of a game but that doesn't mean I'm condemning them if they are having fun. You seem to be very intent on projecting some bias into my words that doesn't exist. I do not dislike wargames. I don't think D&D is a very good wargame. I also think that roleplaying offers things a wargame does not provide. Thus if I want to wargame I find a game that does wargaming well. At least from my perspective because when choosing games thats all that matters for me. There is no judgment on anyone else except between your ears. I choose to play roleplaying games in a way that is impossible with a wargame or an mmo. I think there is something noteworthy and good about that which I value. Your own opinion may vary. I made no comment about anyone elses opinion. Nor did I make any value judgment on their fun. I merely stated my own preferences and why. I find weekly game store D&D encounters events to be more wargame than roleplaying game. I think that is true because I put a high value on the differences between a roleplaying game and a wargame. So when I'm roleplaying I seek out situations where I can derive the full value from such an activity. All of that is how I view it and if you pay attention you'll see there is no comment on how anyone else chooses to use the game. In fact I hope all types buy the game. I even hope people buy the game as a coffee table book. Because each time a game is purchased that helps D&D overall. I don't care if someone buys the game and uses it as a target for their darts. What other people do with the game I don't really give a hoot about. I expect if they like some aspect of D&D they will seek to see it included. That behavior is the same as my own. We all want a game we can enjoy. [/QUOTE]
