[QUOTE="Maggan, post: 5207984, member: 6616"] Hmmm, I'm not sure I follow you. "Swipe in defense of 4e and against 3e"? I'm not ... or at least I labour under the belief that I am not ... defending 4e and swiping against 3e. I've read some comments here and on RPGnet (sorry, no links, I don't have the time to search for individual posts to back it up) that claim that the rage versus 4e is unprecedented and has reached almost epic proportions (n.b. this is an exaggeration for effect, no epic proportions actually observed). I have made other observations in my own circle of gamers, and I believe that it is actually a fairly non-controversial comment to say that edition warring is nothing new, not related mainly to 4e versus everything else and that there have been fierce edition wars even between earlier editions than 3e and 4e. Also, I would think it to be a logical conclusion that many of those who railed at 3e as not being true 4e, are now railing against 4e for the same reason. Not much fun hammering a game that isn't published any more. But I'm not claiming omniscience, and I only have my own observation and my own bias to base my opinions on, and they are no more valid than those who have observed the opposite of what I describe.
