[QUOTE="Talislan, post: 3925864, member: 56858"] This is just a personal opinion I really don't get what the fuss is about. There is a new game coming out next year as I see it called D&D 4th Edition. We are now going to have the choice of a fourth way of playing a wonderful game! Anyone who can't see this, to me, is a grognard. I have been given an opportunity to try something from the ground up again. Something that I can spend the next few years pulling apart and rebuilding just as I have every other game. Can I still play D&D 3.5 though? YES! will there be any more annoying changes to it that I wasn't expecting? NO! Will I have to resort to using my own imagination for creating settings/worlds for 3.5? Yes. Is that a problem? Well it hasn't been for the first 29 years of my life so I can't see it suddenly becoming one. Does anyone see what I'm getting at? When I first started playing RPG's all we needed was a rule book, a DM to interpret the rules and a group of like minded individuals with equally vivid imaginations. I really don't think this has changed. If it has then it is not D&D that is dying but the RPG genre itself. My only real problem with so called Grognards or anyone else on these forums is when they cry "its not fair", "they're not supporting it anymore", or liking this to a car company declaring it will no longer be maintaining vintage models. Since when did my imagination need maintenance? what support can they provide now that this particular game is all grown up? They can't. they realised it was as good as it was going to get and the rest is up to me. As it always has been. I would like to reitterate before I go that this is just a personal opinion. I don't claim that it will be right for everybody and I hope that I have not offended. T. The boundaries of success are held only by the limits of your imagination. Talislan_D 2000 [/QUOTE]
