Of course, that's why I'm still playing it.

*shrug* That's your opinion. Personally I like games which expand "reality" to include the fantastic and the magical. AD&D1e tended to both expand and restrict. The restrictions were not fun. So we've moved on from there. Better games have been designed and even better editions of D&D. It's all a good thing.

But then, of course, I find Runequest bland and boring (the newest edition's probably the best).

Ahh, taste is the only accounting for taste
