[QUOTE="Ulrick, post: 4524654, member: 775"] I think the 4e mood and gameplay are similar to OD&D and AD&D. And that's why there is a sudden resurgence in the those older editions. Another reason is that 4e has cast out almost all of the game sacred cows and started over. 4e, like OD&D, is a beginning. Some do not like the fact that 4e changed a lot of things and are going back to D&D's beginnings to find what they like. Also, once again, we as players are faced with starting over with a new (an unfamiliar) system and game world. "The Realm of mankind is narrow and constricted" resonates from the Keep on the Borderlands into the "points of light" mood of 4e. Of course, this trend of going back to older editions isn't new. Remember when "Rules-lite" topics were common? Often, people suggested going to older editions or C&C--which is based on an older edition design and feel. [/QUOTE]
