Not being familiar with more recent versions and recognizing that GW was never that popular to begin with...I'm just curious: what are some examples of elements or things that were left out of the new version. Quite honestly, my vague recollections of GW from the past was primarily that it was like D&D, but set in a post-apocalyptic world with lots of intelligent animals and everyone had mutations that gave them weird super powers, and had them wielding stop signs as weapons and the like. Has the latest version abandoned that?   Honestly, I can't think of many systems that match your criteria. Many games go from system to system, like Star Wars, Star Trek and others. Does Talislanta or Earthdawn count? I ask, not having seen said systems latest incarnations.  For that matter, is it even fair to compare dungeon and polyhedron's magazine articles against actual games?   I mean, a 3e Dark Sun conversion and Spelljammer 40 page 'mini-game' isn't really the same as an entire line of products or even the original box set, is it?</blockquote>
