[QUOTE="El Mahdi, post: 5926962, member: 59506"] I agree that D&D has had a versatility to it that other games don't. Which is likely why so many (including myself) use it as our base systems (along with simple familiarity that is...). But no edition has been perfect at this (or as close to perfect as possible with a game). I'm hoping that with 5E, especially with the designers stated goals, that this may be more closely realized than before. Also...Sorry if my earlier post came across as if I was correcting your English.:o Your English is just fine. In fact I didn't even notice you're in Germany until you commented above. I wasn't specifically trying to correct your usage of the term [I]generic. [/I]I was predominantly trying to add to the threads conversation with regards to defining "Generic" as pertains to D&D and RPG's. Sorry if it came across as overly anal or corrective.:) [/QUOTE]
