...I'd say there are (at least) 2 issues here. <br /><br />1. Other People Are Wrong. This is just silly. Sure, I do it too, but my position is, if they're enjoying their wrongness, then they're right. Good for them. Sure, I may think my opera is better than their bubblegum pop, but if they don't want opera, me trying to force them to listen to it is just going to alienate them.<br /><br />2. I Can't Find Anyone To Play My Favourite Edition With. That's actually a problem. Still, it's not the fault of pop that the people around you prefer it to opera. Maybe you can smuggle something cool out of the opera and show it to them. Maybe you have to strip right down exactly what you like about the opera and present just that, maybe in pop context. It's hard work. It would be nice if you didn't have to do that. But it's also choice, freedom, communicating.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096473056453931834.post-44847636315212437632011-05-24T02:37:39.338-04:002011-05-24T02:37:39.338-04:00I'm with you, as you know from my "Fun Wi...I'm with you, as you know from my "Fun With Any Edition" posts on my blog. I'm partial to both 1E and 3.5/Pathfinder myself, but I don't begrudge anyone their choices. <br /><br />It's like drinking wine. I have my personal favorites and I know what I like, but I do try hard not to judge other people for their tastes, even when I see them drinking an overly oaked Merlot that tastes of green pepper. Some people like that kind of thing. <br /><br />My main thing is, I have my preferences when I'm the DM, but if someone else is going to DM, then I seriously don't care what edition I'm playing. I'm just happy to play!Martin R.

I primarily play 4e, but my 2e AD&D books share that shelfspace. And I use those books often in putting my 4e game together. It's really about having fun with your friends and trying to create an exciting fantasy adventure story in the process. Every edition of the game is useful for this. I have been itching it run a 2e game, but I doubt it'll happen. THAC0 will drive me crazy! <br /><br />Anyways, play and let play.Sullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08775443433933924102noreply@blogger.com
