I apologise also if I have at any point mis-represented what you have said, certainly was never my intention. Bottom line, I disagree with your opinion but hey, the world is full of differences, and my opinion has no more weight than anyone elses.Originally posted by Garf:

What I have consistently objected to, and at whom my anger is directed are The policy of 'you have to buy the PHB (or some facsimile thereof)' and WotC for having this policy.
WotC are the 'Chislers' IMO.

My problem is I don't understand peoples hostility to the "requires the D&D 3e Players Handbook". Pre-GURPS lite, if you wanted to use ANY GURPS sourcebook, you HAD to buy the GURPS Core rules (well, it was an awful lot easier anyway)... and no-one complained. In order to play a d20 STL compliant game such as T20, it includes a note to the effect that you will really find a life a lot easier with a copy of the D&D 3e PHB (well, the wording is "requires" but as shown elsewhere this isn't entirely true). And it is now apparently appalingly wrong? I don't see the reasoning, sorry. But what the heck, it doesn't really matter as we are all entitled to our own opinions and will play our games the way we seee fit, irrespective of what WotC, QLI or even MWM want (just don't ask about including Mecha in T20 please...)
