[QUOTE="terrya, post: 6029411, member: 6672005"] And yet the systems most compared and argued about are 3.5 and 4.0? You make a valid point that my statement of system is irrelevant is perhaps a bit generalist but your own statements would suggest to me that you do agree with me, at least half agree, that another version of D&D will not unite gamers and will be of a similar brush to whats come before it? And to constantly argue the merits of say 3.5 VS 4.0 would be rather pointless considering how easily adaptable and incomplete the rule sets are? Clearly my own limited experience stops me from being able to expand my article to include an opinion on the more niche gaming systems, which certainly do have a place, but I still stand by my belief that what system of rules your using is such a minor influence on a successful game that to argue over which your DM decides to use is rather pointless? Its this that leads me to believe that the money from gaming systems has already been made. There will always be a window for more niche systems, like dread, but I truly feel that wizzards need to evolve and accept that the way forward is to start making system free material for multiple genres and breath fresh life into the settings and perhaps look into a system free adventure path?
