[QUOTE="Odhanan, post: 2108803, member: 12324"] Since the beginning of RPGs as we know them, it has been a hobby promoting creation. OD&D was made for people to adapt it to their own tastes through houserules, variants and so on. AD&D was then just one way among others to see a more complex, personal set of rules. D&D3 and the d20 system were also based on this concept. Anyone blends stuff and creates houserules and variants. The goal is to make D&D our game. Thus, I see the proliferation of crunch as a very good thing, because it inspires other creators out there, it allows anyone to choose campaign components with wide variety of choice, and so on. And as said above, no one forces - God forbid - anyone to include [i]everything[/i] at the game table. That would be absurd. Only those willing to have a canon D&D and a strictly "official" lecture of the game may want diversity to come to an end. This is in contradiction with the OGL and the very purpose of the game since 1974. [/QUOTE]
