Yes, it is very true. And I like it, too. :)

I hope that it is a "fad."

I fear that it could be the way things are going to be from now on.


So how does this work the other direction? I recommended Paranormal Activity to my sister. Then she posts later in the day that it is a stupid movie. If I immediately respond how much I like it, what does that make me? A joyresurrectionist?

We'll just have to wait for 5e before we can be sure. I'm hoping for some better art-work in the 5e Player's Handbook.
