"I can't believe you're actually using fifth edition for this," Shining Armor said, disapprovingly as Twilight thumbed through her O&O books. She merely rolled her eyes in response.

"Shining, please- 3.5 is a jumbled mess of too much crunch and unbalanced splat books. Fifth edition is a much more streamlined system that makes much more sense to use."

Shining gasped, "What?! No it's- I mean- come on, Twily, you're practically the Princess of Math- Lady of the Spreadsheet, Queen of Numbers. You can't HONESTLY tell me you don't like having a more structured ruleset instead of all this... this fluff!"

"Crunch is fine," Twilight said, "When it's actually implemented well instead of making the game a chore."

She looked up at her brother, a wicked grin on her face, "If I wanted a system to use with a roll for every conceivable situation, I'd just be using GUTS."

Shining was aghast. Appalled. A clamoring sweat beaded down his brow. This... this was evil! This couldn't be his sister-

"I mean at least I'm not using 4th edition."

"Oh, yeah I'll concede to that."

Or nevermind.
