Griping about D&D (especially 4e) might be useful if it helps us hone our arguments and persuade it's players to upgrade to BRP...

I can't allow that precedent! Most of my 'contribution' is silly jokes. Please re-instate it!

No. We dont have to do alot of things. But we choose to.

AikiGhost, I agree with every thing you said.

Bet you wouldn't make the same post at rpg.net.

Over the years, I guess we have figured out how to 'fix' all the stuff you mention, but it is an even bigger pain to do so...easier to find a more playable game (BRP, many of the games they call 'fantasy heartbreakers' at rpg.net, whatever) if you can. Honestly, my biggest gripe with D&D these days is simply that it seems almost everybody around here wants to play it almost exclusively.

Sorry, just replying to the OP!!

I can see that would be confusing at that particular juncture in the thread. Oops.

Sometimes I ask the party's Ranger to "decorate" my level kabillion Fighter with about 50 arrows. Scares the crap out of goblins.

Oh I've done worse over the years on RPG.net. You should have seen the reaction I got when I basically said "The idea behind ChtuluTech is a load of kewl powers over substance crap and I hope it fails" over there. That was a teacup full of fury to be sure

Yeah, I read some of the posts over there. Strictly tongue-in-cheek, but I like to instigate things for rpg.net. So, 'I dare you'.
