[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 6019172, member: 2205"] I'm having trouble following in my mind that point made in the OP. Sure, there aren't any 2e retro projects out there. But why should there be? Mechanically, 2e was an extremely light touch refinement to 1e. In terms of how the books were [I]organized[/I], the 2e standard has pretty much become the new default. In terms of what kind of other products were out at the time; modules, splatbooks, settings--that's kind of become the new default standard as well. It's a major strawman to say that just because there's no specifically 2e retro-movement out there that the generation that started with 2e is a "lost generation" or are in any other respect being ignored. If anything, the paradigm associated with 2e has so thoroughly suffused the hobby that we're still [I]in[/I] that generation, to a very real degree. [/QUOTE]
