[QUOTE="FireLance, post: 4003886, member: 3424"] It may be impossible to make everyone happy, but in my view, it's almost as impossible to stop people from trying. As long as there is a single DM who wants to tinker with the rules in order to improve his game (from his perspective, at least), evolution is going to happen. With the Internet, it's going to be a lot easier for ideas to spread, and for ideas that appeal to more gamers to get adopted in more groups. The net effect is not so much the evolution of One Game as it is the development of an increasing menu of options which individual gaming groups can pick and choose from to suit their individual tastes. Even the launch of a new edition by whoever owns the D&D brand at the time simply (presumably) causes the majority of gamers to cluster around the most recently published rules - points of convergence in a world of house rules, if you will. :p [/QUOTE]
