We all have different opinions, even on such things as "what is oldschool" ( I know I don't always agree with many of the OSR BLOGgers/Game Designers). How do these folks deal with life which is full of many differing opinions? <br /><br />D&D in all it's editions is JUST A GAME. None better. None worse. No matter what ruleset it uses it's still a Dorky silly game of make believe. It's a fun hobby, and fun to talk about how it has evolved, but it's not all that important in the grand scheme of life. Anyone who would stoop to the harassing antics really needs to get a grip (or more likely, laid ;O) ) <br /><br />jeffbAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
