[QUOTE="Erastus, post: 655755, member: 10060"] I appreciate the fact that most of you like the MM tactics. Well, not most - all. I seem to be alone here. But I think it's important to point out that it's not specifically the tactics that I don?t like, but the trend that is being established when 3rd Edition becomes 'The Fantasy Roleplaying Game with Training Wheels - with optional whicker handlebar basket and bell". I'm really not as upset about the tactics as I am about creating RPGs that are specifically designed to hold your hand as you cross the street as the core product line. I'm too old to have someone holding my hand when I cross the street, and not old enough to need a Boy Scout to help me. ;) It just seems to me that my first glance at the 'new and improved' looks like 'new and improved for those times when you just don't care enough to invest the time or thought it should require to play the game". It seems like it would be all too easy to carry this too far and use that optional handlebar basket to take the game on a ride to hell. [/QUOTE]
