No ire here. That is my calm and rational opinion of the subject, just as I'm sure yours is.molonel said:

Well of course I do...Flexor the Mighty! said:So Gary do you agree with me that 2e sucked and all those who liked it stink of elderberries?
...What?
No, WAIT! I didn't say that--I couldn't have
On a relative scale 2E isn't so bad. think of Tunnels & Trolls for example...
Cheerio,

You can't see the bald head, but I was one of those players in the Golden Age of A/D&D. Back when AD&D was the main game in town, and it didn't have to compete with World of Warcraft selling 2.4 million copies of its first expansion set during the first 24 hours after it was released.
Quas's point is simply to wipe away some of the nostalgia, and paint a slightly more realistic picture. His point is valid.

Except that his posts, even when attacked, tend to be so entirely devoid of ire, anger or the same sort of slander that gets hurled at him.
I enjoy flamewars. I fully expect people to throw me the bird, accuse me of shooting their dog and act like I should be put in jail.
Quas is actually one of the more reasonable, rational, calm posters on this forum.
Hence, the oddity.

Which is why nobody can ever really answer his points, except to attack his character or motives. Yes, I realize that.

Hi Molonel,
A couple of quick comments.
The current version of D&D can not compete with WoW, so I do believe that the plan os to alter it so as to be more like the electronic competition. WE shall see, eh?
Ad for Quas', if he was there then what he says has some weight. If all he is doing is quoting what was written somewhere, secondary source material unquestionably, then it is no more than yet another opinion. Any refutation by one that was there is at least as valid an opinion...
And that is my considered opinion.
Gary

That was in response to your comment about how there were more D&D players back in the day. I've never seen an actual number-crunching from any source I consider reliable, in that regard. But the fact is, there are more people playing roleplaying games now than ever before. D&D got the ball rolling, and now has to compete with its own success and the children it spawned in a variety of forms, and methods of delivery. The market that WotC faces now was not the same market that TSR faced.

I think what he says needs to be addressed on the merits of his arguments, rather than by counting his grey hairs.
I see some truth in his claims, and I see more discomfort in the people flinging monkey poo at him rather than considered or reasoned responses.
