This was found hanging on a deep wood tavern from a game I was in last year.

Quote from: Christopher Brady;878818Whatever happens to the first two letters, though? It's nice to focus on one, but it's not called a 'Game'. It's called a 'Role Playing Game'. Besides, your way is just ONE way to play. Other people want more, or maybe a different sort of direction to play.

Yes but those people are wrong.

Without...

REFILLS!

I think.

It might be without "Orc Sauce" but that just gets... perverted.

Sorry to break it for you, but they're exactly as right as you are:). As long as they're doing that on their tables, and not on yours, they can have all the setting detail in the world.
Of course, if you ever ended on one such table, you wouldn't fit the group and would have to be ditched, and vice versa with those people and your table;).

Quote from: Gronan of Simmerya;878796I've said before that when Phil Barker scoffed at my dungeon as "unrealistic" and asked "what do the monsters eat, anyway" I put a McDonald's on the sixth level.

Well, getting ready for GaryCon, I FOUND that key. It was actually the 7th level, but hey, after 41 years that's doing good.

So, here are the prices from the McDonald's just off the University of Minnesota Campus in 1974, only in copper pieces:

Hamburger 33 coppers
Cheeseburger 38
Double Hamburger 60
Double Cheese 70
Filet of Fish 39
Fries 25
Large Fries 40
Onion Rings 45
Shakes, Choc, Straw, Vanilla 39
Orca Cola 15 & 29 Without*, 29 & 58
Sprite Root beer Grape same
Orange 20 & 39 (no, I have no idea why)
Hot Apple Pie 41

*100 XP to the first one who figures "without what" without looking it up

Wow, no growth or change in 40+ years. That's quite an achievement in stagnation.

I was hoping he was being facetious. Cuz I'm sick of the constant grognard passive aggressive "YER DOIN' IT WRONG, YOUNG PUNKS!" we constantly get here whenever D&D gets brought up.

I've more or less accepted it and decided to leave the game to the OSR and other various Gygax-cultists.

Quote from: Rincewind1;878877Are we sharing anecdotes for when we were first GMing for our friends as 12 years olds? Because I have some great ones in this spirit.

sounds like a good topic idea to me

How the fuck did a dumb story about me flipping off Phil Barker as a college sophomore turn into an argument over "ONE TRUE WAY TO PLAY?"

Because every time someone reminisces about their early RPGing and someone else mentions their way - some dim-bulb has to harp in about how that person or both persons was playing it wrong and there is only "one true way." Even when said way is a-lot like their way.

Because every time someone reminisces about their early RPGing someone else has to decry it as "the hated one true way oppressors!" even when no such thing was said.

Because the OSR was apparently printed with magic electronic stupid ink that saps the intelligence of anyone reading it.

What else is new...

Hey man. Some of us cannot quote verbatim every line of every book we read back in high school. I read Bored of the Rings over 40 years ago. I'm sure I've also forgotten most of the people in my homeroom and a few Monty Python quotes in the intervening decades.

It takes more than that to get me riled up. And of course, if we're going to spew vitriol, it's hard to out-spew me, as you yourself might have felt a couple times:).

It's the nature of the beast called Internet that we can't let other people playing it wrong in their living rooms, Starbucks, kitchens, gaming shops, basements or whatever other venues they choose, so anything that shows disagreement with the Right Way should be immediately corrected;).
