You are describing my first RPG-experience exactly... Except that I didn't

Why not? Sure, I like SR better than **&*, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't
like to kill off 40-50 orcs and kobolds without any fear of somebody coming
after me every once in a while :)

You'll get flamed if you're not careful (not by me, I agree with you), but
this _has_ come up before and not everyone was keen on being told they
couldn't spell their native language...
