RE: [DL] d20 isn't realistic (OT) [response to Grand Master]

>>however, you're not right about why most people don't
like it, i don't like it because yes my perception of
the system changed, i've grown tired of level-based
gaming and i prefer more realistic systems

i wonder, is this a sign of aging?
as a gamer gets older do they prefer the more
reality-based systems that seem plausible and have a
sound structure, as opposed to the wildly-mythic highs
and lows of old AD&D gaming?

or is it a sign that i have somehow matured beyond the
"introductory" system (most people start with AD&D
because of its popularity and i've been playing these
games for 18 years ya'whippersnaps!) and now i am
moving on to more advanced game systems?<<

Those of you who have wondered how some of us had gotten the idea that D&D
and d20 are spoken of pejoratively on the list, here's a fine example of
where we picked that idea up...
