I have played with at least one person from each edition, and the one thing that has remained the same is that people who didnt start with 3e like to play a straight forward game. Low story, high action.Im a story heavy DM and I have found that all of my players who started with 3e are enthralled with the story and are listening intently as it's being told, until it gets to their turn or something in the story involves them. As for the people that played older editions get bored and what to just "Skip" this stuff and get to the action. And it's not just older gamers either. I have a guy whos 18 and he started out playing OD&D with a friends dad and he feels the same way. He likes Action, action, action. Like I said ive played with someone from every edition and it's always the same. They dont care too much about the story. The amount of story they want goes something like this "You meet at a tavern and a guy hires you to raid a dungeon filled with evil goblins who stole his daughter" well that might be a little sterotypical but thats really what it seems they like.</blockquote>
