I hate third edition

Post by ubernoob »

Fuck you guys and your newfangled crap. I don't want to hear any references about a system which you guys clearly are so familiar with that you have a stickied link to docs that are hundreds of pages of houserules to improve the system. Seriously, the 3E bias here is terrible. Fuck you guys.
Any time shadzar makes a 2E post we can just link him here so he can put his post in a thread where it is on topic.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry here.
"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."

I would've thought that this thread might have come with reasoning beyond "its popular so I hate it".

I hate 3E for getting in the way of my delicious magical tea party. Real RPGs come with rules so incomprehensible you can't actually use them, and I am very disappointed in 3E from stepping away from this point.

I mean, before, I could drive people away from the D&D GM's games just by talking about different saves for fireballs from wands, spells, and breath weapons. Now I have to fall back on the grapple rules. For shame.

I hate you people almost as much as I hate Chrono Cross.

Well, maybe not that much.

Your freedom to run/play a game without needing to understand a complex rule system is in direct conflict with my freedom to play a character whose abilities and flaws function as I intended within that ruleset. Your freedom to add and change rules in the middle of the game is in direct conflict with my ability to understand that rules system before I decided whether or not to join your game.

In short, your entire post is dismissive of not merely my intelligence, but my agency. And I don't mean agency as a player within one of your games, I mean my agency as a person. You do not want me to be informed when I make the fundamental decisions of deciding whether to join your game or buying your rules system.

It's a homebrew version of 2e, and it's not my homebrew version of 2e.

That's why I hate it.

I don't want you fuckers selling me your 2E bullshit. I'm a diehard 1E player and I'll never convert!

Fuck your THAC0 and all the rest of the 2nd edition garbage. Real men find the results of hit rolls on attack tables, exactly as Gygax intended. I hate hearing your blasphemy about how you can start as a bard at 1st level.

You munchkins should be ashamed of yourselves.
