D&D 4E 4E: A Mid-Life Crisis

[Guild Goodknife]

I thought it was quite funny too, even if i dont agree on the negative connotation.

You know, Faerun is a D&D world...nothing wrong for her to hang there - it's relatives! And good relatives.


Now, if she hanged around Eragons or Potters...

Well said.

Stacey's mom has got it goin' on.

Charisma of 18, man.

Stacey's mom has got it goin' on.

She's all I want and I've been waiting since Gencon.

a desperate cry for help from a game that's afraid to grow old and afraid to grow up.

Please.

Your analogy is wrong.
D&D is not 'Stacy's mom.'
It's the 'disgruntled D&D grognard' that is Stacy's Mom.

D&D is the vehicle in this analogy.
Some grognard's will never trade in their D&D half-orc minivan, no matter what sad, tired shape it's in. Others of us, even those that lived through the 80's--but chose to leave them behind--will take the sporty dragonborn roadster.

I will always prefer the refurbished 1957 Chevy.

I don't know how that fits into this little analogy, I just thought I'd share.

D&D might end up being very popular with those virile youngsters for all the wrong reasons. The only thing a teenaged male likes more than a milf is a milf who puts out.

Sigged.

But in all seriousness, I think the OP is making a valid point. Underneath the designers' enthusiasm (genuine, no doubt) I do detect the slightest whiff of a fear that may just be a trace of something like desperation.

Let's hope 4E puts out good.
