[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 3864521, member: 2067"] ....so we're saying 4e is bad? ....because it might serve kids who like big swords and shieldsurfing elves? ....over "classic" Tolkienesque heroes like dagger-wielding hairy-footed bi-curious sneak-theives? ....even though D&D is "supposed to" serve Tolkeinesque heroes over more modernly concieved ones? ...and that 4e, because it embraces modern fantasy heroics, is ignoring what people want? ....as demonstrated purely by the income of the LotR movies, which specifically downplayed a lot of Tolkein's more boring secions (or at least padded them with pretty scenery)? I'm chalkin' this one up to "I don't understand kids these days with their rock and roll music," and saying that, after 8 years of getting this stuff for 3e's behavior, I'd hope that the grognards for the next edition would at least play a new tune. ;) And as for the humor ...
