This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Anon Adderlan;645666Not difficult, just meaningless. Seriously, this is a perfect example of the empty rhetoric I'm talking about.
What is meaningless about it? It's simple, are the rules in question:

a) Found in the Basic boxed set? If yes, they are Basic rules.

b) Found in the Standard core rulebooks (which I suspect will follow the PHB/DMG/MM breakdown for reasons of iconicness)? If yes, they are Standard rules.

c) Found in an optional supplement adding rules over and above those found in the Standard core? If yes, they are Advanced.

What precisely is the confusion here?
I am no longer posting here or reading this forum because Pundit has regularly claimed credit for keeping this community active. I am sick of his bullshit for reasons I explain here and I don\'t want to contribute to anything he considers to be a personal success on his part.

I recommend The RPG Pub as a friendly place where RPGs can be discussed and where the guiding principles of moderation are "be kind to each other" and "no politics". It\'s pretty chill so far.

Quote from: CRKrueger;645564Who plays just one RPG?  Sure some, but not all./QUOTE]

I suspect this is highly regional (and possibly age-dependent).  In the college town I grew up in, everybody played multiple systems, often simultaneously.

In the WASPy bedroom community I live in now, the gamers (rpg and mini) all pretty much play one game to the exclusion of all others.  The only real exception is board games.
D&D is becoming Self-Referential.  It is no longer Setting Referential, where it takes references outside of itself. It is becoming like Ouroboros in its self-gleaning for tropes, no longer attached, let alone needing outside context.
