[QUOTE="Dragonhelm, post: 5978120, member: 3867"] I should probably preface this by saying that I have played since 2e, and seen a number of edition changes. I think so. I realize that the RPG industry is stronger if D&D is strong. I will definitely give it a try. However, I am at the point now that I don't feel like I have to stick with the latest edition. I think they want what's best for D&D and D&D fans. I also think they are a business and must act in a financially responsible way. I think having Hasbro help with that is great. Thing is, I don't fully know what limitations they might place. I don't care what edition fellow gamers play. Just play! And support your fellow gamer's right to play what they want. Well said. For me, I am tired of edition changes. I will give 5e a chance, as it reminds me some of C&C and seems to be the blend of editions I have been wanting. However, I do not feel beholden to it. I kind of want an edition of D&D where everything can come together from all of the editions I have played. In some ways, Pathfinder is a good option, being a system I can easily convert to from AD&D and as it easily ties into 3e, including all my 3e Dragonlance materials. Pathfinder has a few 4e-isms I like too. That being said, I have also considered going with a heavily house-ruled Castles & Crusades. I love the basics of the system, and that it can be built upon. I just wonder if it might be a little too simplistic at times. [/QUOTE]
