Fifth Element said:I gotta disagree. Wasn't the marketing for 3E "back to the dungeon"?
And you can't look at flavour changes in isolation. To consider how much an edition changes, you have to look at both mechanics and flavour. Even if the flavour changes in 3E were minor (which may or may not be true), the mechanical changes were not minor.
But wasn't the "dungeon" regardless of edition an iconic staple anyway? It wasn't like the "dungeon" appeared out of thin air with 3e.
As far as the changes go...isn't drastically changing the flavor (totaly cosmology, monsters, races, classes) and mechanics (paradigm upon which character abilities and encounters operate) just proving the point of a bigger change?
