That he's a grognard and you shouldn't play with him.

>>48736522
He's wrong. It was after 1999, when Hasbro bought WotC that it stopped being real,

> anything after 3e isn't real D&D
That translates into
>I AM A HUGE FAGGOT PLEASE RAPE MY FACE

Avoid that guy. Or rape his face.[/SPOILER]

The short answer is he's just being a fag

>>48736545
>3e
>grognard

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Butt hurt 3.PF player more like.

>>48736522

That's just, like, their opinion, man.

>>48736522
He's right. The only real D&D is d20 Modern.

It means he hasn't played it and wants to belittle you

>>48736522
That he has only played 3.5, invested a lot of time into learning that clusterfuck of a system and now refuses to acknowledge that there might be any other worthwhile games and has had bad experiences with anything else he may or may not have tried because he plays everything as if it were 3.5, even when it is clearly not.

tl;dr do not attempt to play or talk about RPGs with him. It's pointless.

>>48736522
He meant "please get into a huge protracted argument with me over subjective merits and faults of various editions of D&D instead of actually playing any of them"

Ignore and move on.

>>48736522

That the only system he played was 3.X and he doesn't have the motivation to try another system.
