[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 5894082, member: 85555"] i think this is a key point. And it is something that hit me when 4e came out (which I simpy couldn't get into). The thing people on both sides need to grasp is there are other games out there that probably do exactly what you are fighting tooth and nail to have in D&D. What matters ultimately is RPGs, not D&D. In a way D&D could be counter productive to the hobby...because it reflects to the world what the hobby is all about. But if you look at other games being made, some of them really catching on the community, you see RPGs are once again about more than elves or orcs or mechanics unique to dungeons and dragons. When I first started playing we certainly played D&D but we also spent countless hours playing Teanage Mutant Ninja Turles, TORG, Gamma World, Star Wars, and Cthulu. Maybe if D&D tanks these other possibilities will fill in some the space it once occupied. Don't get me wrong I do like fantasy rpgs and D&D in particular, but it just seems a lot of new people I meet in the hobby have no idea there is more (and has been more) to gaming than pathfinder, d20 or 4e. A lot of us didn't even start out on D&D. My first rpg was the role play version of battle tech (cant remember the name). Didn't play D&D till at least a year later. [/QUOTE]
