Too many people have no idea how to use words they should have learned in grade two. |

[edit] Contributions
Most of my contributions to Wikipedia are in articles on anime or role playing games. That said, as Wikipedia is supposed to be encyclopedic, I also clean up grammar and spelling on articles that interest me, especially unnecessary apostrophes and improper gender pronouns.

I've played role-playing games (RPGs) for a little over two decades. During that time, I have played several incarnations of Dungeons & Dragons, as well as many other games including some that aren't class-based. As my personal development as a role-player unfolded, I have become more fond of skill-based game systems. It's not that I "hate" class-based systems, and I do still play them. What I don't like about class-based systems is "being handed your abilities on a silver platter".
Despite what Internet boards would have one believe, in my own personal experience, the d20 System is not nearly as popular as the messageboard culture would have us believe.
That said, my favorite games do include very few d20 System products, only one by Wizards of the Coast. I buy the games that I would like to play in.
