[QUOTE="TheAuldGrump, post: 5767530, member: 6957"] Which is why a lot of people, myself included, say "I am done with D&D. The current game for D&D does not feel like D&D to me, at all, and I will not play it'. Sorry, but saying that it does not feel like D&D is perfectly legitimate - WotC patted themselves publicly on the back for how much they had changed. They should not be surprised when people say that it no longer feels like D&D, then go and play a game that is not named D&D, but feels more like D&D to them than the titular D&D. So, do not feel hurt when folks say that D&D is dead to them. And do not be surprised when folks refer to 'that game' as 4e, and not as D&D. It may bear the title, but for many, myself included, it is no longer the same game. WotC changed the game, boasted of how they had changed the game, and shut themselves out of much that the name had come to represent. As the sales between 3.P and 4e teeter back and forth, I doubt that they are patting themselves on the back quite so heartily. (Actually, going by some of the recent comments from Mr. Mearls, they are not patting themselves on the back at all.) And now, just because I am feeling snarky, let me give a silent whale - my hat of d04 know no limit. :p (Sorry, I could not resist... D20 also got its share of h[COLOR="Red"]4[/COLOR]t[COLOR="lime"]3[/COLOR]. It is not meant to be taken seriously.) The Auld Grump, so, is a person who runs both games a Dung[COLOR="lime"]3[/COLOR]on M[COLOR="Red"]4[/COLOR]ster? [/QUOTE]
