The more I see an RPG that is currently suffering becouse of a similar (be it not as far) change.The current edition of RuneQuest from Mongoose Publishing. They took a game that quite frankly was very simple compared to DnD. Then tried to make it even more simple.  Result (at least from the players in my area who have played the older editions) being no one likes the new rules. Yes they are very similar to the last edition. But there were enough changes to leave a terrible taste in the players mouths.  We decided to use the settings prsented and use the previous editions rules for actual game play.I have a feeling that IF DnD is changed into anything close to what your suggesting. The same reaction (except on a much larger scale, see the voting responses) will happen.  Perhaps good for a new setting or two, but the majority will keep using older editions for actualy playing. Or worse yet, completly change games and leave DnD in the dust like they did with Gamma World, etc.</blockquote>
