[QUOTE="LeStryfe79, post: 5461479, member: 71820"] Clearly, WE are the reason D&D isn't more popular, since the upper 33% of us didn't have a problem with the contemporary system. I wished I'd been a good enough DM to get players interested, but alas it wasn't so. In the old days, many of us were aspiring DMs with an inferior system, and yet everyone flocked to our tables. Nowadays, we inhabit a barren wasteland of a long forgotten hobby. Damnit! WotC was right and I was wrong. If only I'd listened when I had the chance. The points of light were there all along. They told me when to have fun, afterall. They told me! And, as much as I'd like to blame the economy, the president, and God HIMself, I can't in good conscience do so. Face it, 66% of us suck. It's too bad that so many people had to get laid off because of it. Damn the edition wars! Damn them to hell! Also, a lack of quality campaigns, brand recognition, customer service, and balanced gameplay might have had a tiny bit to do with it.... [/QUOTE]
