[QUOTE="Andor, post: 4553072, member: 1879"] What are you talking about? I didn't tell anybody they were wrong! Arrghhh! Look, when D&D 5e comes out some people are going to hate it and complain it's not D&D. This will happen even if it comes with a portable holoprojector, a pet dragon, and a never ending pez dispenser that looks like E.G.Gygax. This is the nature of fandom. Now why does WotC get to call 4e D&D? Because they legally own the trademark, production rights and copyright. They do this under domestic and international law. Domestic law has the backing of the U.S. goverment and if this fundamentally silly arguement is carried all the way to 'You and what army?' the answer is the U.S. Army. As Peter Griffen said "That's a good army." :hmm: So to argue that WotC can't decide to call whatever they like D&D is pointless philosophical babble. What WotC [i]cannot[/i] do it tell you what to play when you invite your friends over to play D&D. You can play 4e, you can play 3e, you can play the Red Box basic edition, you can play strip twister for all I or anyone else cares. What you call D&D in your own house is up to you. Word. [/QUOTE]
