[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 6467667, member: 29398"] While there may well be more player movement, it's no more of an "issue" now than it ever was. Why, you ask? Because all of this becomes utterly irrelevant as soon as you sit down at a table and ask how that table's DM runs her game; and that is one thing that has never* changed, the best (and IMO misguided) efforts of the RPGA over several decades notwithstanding. * - exception: you now also need to ask "which edition", not so relevant 30 years ago. Why? The only thing that matters is whether you - just you, and maybe the others around your one table - are satisfied with the game and-or rules you are playing right then and there whatever it/they might be. The greater community, the greater game, boards like this: all are secondary to that game at that table, right now. If my rules and edition are different than yours and both are different from what a third DM uses, etc., so what? Are you happy with what you've got going on at your table? If yes, who cares what everyone else is playing - it just doesn't matter. Lan-"attempting rules unification in an edition designed to be kitbashed is the fast track to madness"-efan [/QUOTE]
