My name is Aeolius, and I am a grognard. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> I admit that I have intentionally tried to kill D&D on more than one occasion.I started with Basic D&D, moved on to Expert, and then played Advanced D&D (1e). When 2e came along I purchased the PH, decided I didn't care for it, and stuck with 1e. And yet they kept publishing 2e books and supplements, despite my best efforts. Darned them.My past two campaigns have been set beneath the surface of the sea. I've purchased my 3e/3.5e books specifically with the focus of siphoning the aquatic goodies from them. And yet they kept publishing rule books and supplements for campaigns set upon dry land, despite my best efforts. Darned them. 4e may be a huge success. It may not. At this point, I have yet to be encouraged to play the game. I realize that conversion from one edition to another may be difficult; yet I converted a 1e campaign over to 3e rules literally overnight. That isn't the issue. The issue lies with their approach which states in essence "End your 3e games now and start anew with 4e". No. Sorry. I don't wanna. And yet the will no doubt publish a plethora of 4e books and supplements, despite my best efforts. Darned them.When I can play 4e the same way I like playing 3e, with monster PCs in an undersea setting in the World of Greyhawk, then I'll take it seriously. I figure within a few years we'll have a 4e Savage Species, Stormwrack, and Greyhawk Gazetteer. If not, I can always see what 5e has to offer.edit: For the record, I am 42. I have nothing against 20-somethings even though, relatively speaking, they only recently learned how to express themselves with language and use a toilet.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
