[QUOTE="thedungeondelver, post: 5781968, member: 34865"] [font=century gothic] I think everyone here has been remarkably civil all things considered. Here's a thing...what everyone needs to remind themselves of is this: [i]Even if[/i] the 5e rules [b]are not at all what you want[/b], it seems that one of the [b]main tenets[/b] of [b]WIZARDS OF THE COAST[/b]'s next plan for [b]D&D[/b] is to [b]support all editions[/b]. Unlike every step before, nobody's being left out in the cold this time - this is the vibe I'm getting from the [b]LEGENDS & LORE[/b] columns, from playtest reports, from the various media reports. We're [b]all in it together this time[/b]. Regular season is over. It's the All Star game, and we're all on the same team. You want no stats, no Vance style magic, no saving throws, "Wu-Jen" powers and everybody's a furry? Okay fine! As long as I can turn the knobs all the way back to the right, [b]everything's cool[/b]. I said about another post, and I'll say here, I'm getting a lot of [b]fear[/b] out of the 4e side of the house. There's a lot of feeling that [b]D&D[/b] is finally "perfect" and now here comes [b]WIZARDS[/b] ready to tell you they're throwing your baby out with the bathwater. But what [b]I[/b] think is going to happen is that we're going to look up in 18 months and find that we [b]all[/b] have official and real outlets for what we want to play and they're [b]all[/b] going to be supported and they're all going to be called [b]D&D[/b]. There's no need for us to go at each other. Have I gotten my hackles up? Sure; that's to be expected. But really this may be the most "mellow" transition, indeed one of the most happy ones, in the history of the game. Because, again, in 18 months, [b]nobody's[/b] game will be orphaned. Now...if it [b]bugs you[/b] that there will be room at the table again (officially) for players of [b]ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS[/b], [B]ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, 2ND EDITION[/B], [B]DUNGEONS & DRAGONS 3RD EDITION, [/B]and [B]DUNGEONS & DRAGONS 3.5E[/B], I mean if it gets you really and truly worked up that [b]in addition to[/b] 4e those editions' fans have an outlet (either through the system of 5e itself or some other official support) well, then maybe you should find another hobby. But really, I think with very little exception there's nobody really like that. We all want what's best for our edition, and [B]I[/B] feel we're all going to get it. Or something damn close to "best". Better than ever after an "edition break". Now who's with me! [/font] [/QUOTE]
