In reply to Loukas Ouranus (msg # 22):
Well, thanks, Loukas. Here I thought I was coming off with a crotchety old-timer post! :)
I used to love D&D, and would play nothing else. Once I started playing other games, they appealed to me more. I went through my little "D&D is for hosers" phase, which I'm not proud of. It's not that I dislike it at all anymore, just that whatever kind of game I'm playing, I've been exposed to a system I like more at some point now. I'm totally okay if some people love it in all its incarnations, and I don't feel that preference makes me a 'better' roleplayer, or anything like that. And to be fair, I don't know how I'd feel about it nowadays, I haven't looked closely at any D&D material in decades.
Loukas, if you want to play in other, non-D&D games, there's lots of them here on rpol. I run two (though I've let one run kind of stagnant over the summer, and I need to get it rolling again). I find non-D&D games here on rpol all the time, though it's pretty hit or miss finding games that actually survive long enough to make them interesting (in my mind... I tend to like long running games).
