[QUOTE="Windjammer, post: 5773282, member: 60075"] Negative. New editions live and thrive on 'new blood'. 3E wouldn't have been possible without Tweet and Cook, then neophites in the 'design a new edition' game. Same holds for Heinsoo, Collins, and Wyatt - watch them on the early 4E preview youtube clips, with Andy throwing a ball at Rob: these are kids, excited at making their own game. And then of course, there's Gygax and Arneson, at the beginning of the game's history, making it up from whole cloth. Quick: name one person in this list who ever made more than one edition of D&D. Actually, name one person in this list who's second game was superior to his first. Lejendary Adventures is a poor shadow of AD&D, and Arcana Evolved can't hold a candle to 3E. I'll bold it for greater clarity: [B]Let it be forever known that no man, alive or dead or undead, should write more than one edition of D&D.[/B] And now they're doing it. They're doomed, I say, dooooooomed! And I'm not only kidding. Monte Cook and Mike Mearls have just come out of a decidedly unimpressive year in Legend & Lore. Nothing they wrote remotely approaches the freshness and intelligence of their first offerings. Some of it was hilariously bad, like the revamped skill system. All they got left right now is 'Why don't YOU tell us what we should design?' Please guys, step down and make room for someone else. You've had your chance, you've left your mark. Give 5E a chance. Let it be a good, strange, innovative game. Leave it to the hands of others. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
