None of the Above......aka Lemon Curry.

High vs. low magic, because that seems actually to spawn some useful ideas.

You forgot 'methods of developing your campaign'.

(Well, that is my goal... in the long run... it really is!!)

The pithy threads regarding the finer points of crunch vs fluff (whatever that means ) still draws me in.

I chose the paladin threads, those are always fun. But you forgot, "[X] setting sucks, but [Y] setting is awesome." You know you have a winner when you can swap X and Y and 90% of the posts in the thread are still applicable.

Crunch = Lots of detailed stats blocks with as much system-specific info as possible.

Fluff = The broad strokes only in written and/or published material - the prime example being Original Greyhawk and even Living Greyhawk Gazetteer where the MOST information given on an NPC is Class, Level and Alignment, and the rest left completely nebulous and up to GM's to fill in.

At least that's my best understanding of the discussion, and it usually breaks RPGers into Categories of Ultra-Crunchers, Ultra-Fluff Lovers, and lots of in-between. Sort of mirrors politics in real world heh lol?

Its been so long since we've had a Ranger discussion...those were so fun. Nothing got more heated than that, even the Pally and Crunch/Fluff threads.

I guess 3.5 did something right or people just got tired of the threads somehow.

"Honey, the Ranger is still broken," my wife said on the phone. "I need you to come pick me up from the garage."

Disruptive players, for me.

I forgot all about the CLOSED threads.
I read those things like it's an addiction.
Or moth to a flame.

And there's the ones that you just know are going to be closed...
It's like a train wreck soap opera!
