They ARE facts to me and many other loyal gamers. I accept your OPINION that they are not..lol [img]smile.gif[/img] .
I already stated I was sticking to 1st ED..like glue. I've called no one ignorant. I've stated many are misguided...or never truely grasped what made Advanced Dungeons & Dragons the great well balanced RPG that is was/is. I've noticed a trend with most 3rd ED lovers. They worry about THEIR character...THEIR customization...THEIR restrictions, THEIR power...more so than group roleplaying which is what AD&D was made for. It's an all for one all for one attitude. Of course one cares about their character and his abilities, but one also must care about group play. What good is group play when your character can "do it all". It's perfectly obvious in some of these posts.

The person you are thinking of is Dave Arneson. What about him? Perhaps you think Mr. Arneson would have created AD&D without Gary. Let me see...I think NOT. He co-authored many things with Gary back then and created some material such as Blackmoor by himself. Gary is the creator however. Do not disrespect the creator...it is disgusting.

Again..arguing with fence posts..I must stop this [img]smile.gif[/img] .
Play your DD&D if you wish. It's your money.
