[QUOTE="caudor, post: 5430098, member: 8367"] I hate to admit this, but here it goes. I'll try to be brief. I've played D&D since 1981. I've been happy about every new edition from 1e-4e. Yes, I think 4e made huge improvements to D&D, especially for DMs. You could say I'm too easy to please; I accepted each version of D&D with excitment and expectation of something better. I've never played any role-playing game except D&D. I eye-balled some, but never seriously looked since D&D filled my needs. I think the first inkling that something was 'odd' about WotC is when they pulled the digital offerings from the market. I had invested heavily in pdfs from all editions. I'm talking hundreds of dollars. OK, I decided, D&D is pen and table game for now and I moved on. I don't know if it occured before or after, but when they cancelled the hardcopy versions of Dungeons and Dragon mags, I was concerned again. Oh, now they are going digital. OK, and I moved on. --Skipping over many little disconcerting events-- Then the sudden change on the character builder. Then the big silence. Then, the recent cancellation of three books. Not a big deal, right? But for me, something was feeling very wrong after the book cancellations. WotC's pattern of thrashing about became clear to me. What the heck is going on? For the first time, I was worried about what was to become of D&D. Yesterday, for the first time ever, I went online to see what this Pathfinder was all about. I read about, considered it, but in the end decided to stick with 4e because I remember how hard it was DMing 3e. The point is: I looked. I pondered. I considered something other than D&D. I'm not sure what set off my spidy-senses. Of course, I'm not sure what is going on with WotC, at all. [/QUOTE]
