Why should I play *D&D instead of Rolemaster, Torg, or some other RPG?
This is a group for discussing *D&D, in all the forms it has taken over the years. It is not a place to discuss the relative merits of those games when compared to non-TSR games. This includes discussion about why people should stop playing *D&D and switch to some other game. It just so happens, however, that there is a newsgroup which is dedicated solely to discussions of which game systems are the best and/or worst to play. It’s just a few steps north of here, and is called rec.games.frp.advocacy. Try it, you might like it. The discussion there mainly centers around meta-game issues–i.e. what the best game mechanic for a given action is–rather than invective-filled flame-fests, so consider yourself warned. For other notes on where to post certain topics, see the question below and the newsgroups listing and descriptions in part 6 of this FAQ.
