[QUOTE="Harlock, post: 5964286, member: 4545"] For many of us, that is exactly what roleplaying games are with one distinction; it is a group authoring process rather than an individual one. We all are writing the same story from different points of view and with control over specific characters. Some of us do not mind GM Fiat at all and trust them to be fair arbiters and so Rule Zero is not a point of contention. This was one of the first shots in edition wars, in fact, and spawned the battle of roleplaying vs. rollplaying. Again, neither side is wrong for wanting what they want. And once again, to bring this all back to the topic at hand: a streamlined core system to which can easily be added modules that increase complexity or add systems is a great goal for a new edition of the game! And, if 5th meets any 4th edition players' needs, it might be worthy to play the new system since it will, obviously, be the one supported by WotC. It's not up to us to convince anyone to try 5th. WotC will have to do that by what they make 5th edition into. [/QUOTE]
