[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 9221243, member: 6796661"] I have a great deal of fondness, nostalgia, and appreciation for OD&D, AD&D, early TSR, and the early pioneers of the hobby. Especially Gary Gygax as the promoter, champion, and defender of the hobby during the Satanic Panic. I also have a deep appreciation for Hasbro/WotC and 5e for bringing me back into the hobby after over two decades of not playing TTRPGs, and creating evocative, inclusive, high-quality books and a darn good system that was accessible and fun. I don't have a "face" of modern D&D in mind like I do with the OD&D and AD&D. Chris Perkins probably comes closest because his videos were what I used to jumpstart my getting back into running games. What I most appreciate about D&D is that it was and still is the most effective gateway to the TTRPG hobby. Whatever criticisms I may have about the systems, the corporations, or the individuals that make up "D&D", I'm grateful it exists. In the late 80s, I stopped playing D&D and moved to Warhammer Fantasy as my main game, as well as playing many other games. Over the past 10 years, after getting back into TTRPGs, I've played quite a few other games (mostly one shots) and have just switched to Warhammer Fantasy 4e as my main game. But it is nice to know that D&D will always still be there in some form and I expect I'll be playing it again, in some form. [I]To all the games I've loved before Who traveled in and out my door I'm glad they came along I dedicate this song (I dedicate this song) To all the games I've loved before To all the games I once possessed And may I say, I've held the best For helping me to grow, I owe a lot, I know To all the games I've loved before The winds of change are always blowing (blowing) And ev'ry time I tried to stay (trying to stay) The winds of change continued blowing (blowing) And they just carried me a way (carried me away)[/I] [/QUOTE]
