[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 8959171, member: 11760"] I will say with confidence that most people's play experience isn't as a wandering player, moving from group to group. Most people who play do so with an established group and they don't have this sort of friction on a repeated basis. The group comes to some sort of consensus and then they play. If you want your experience to be the mark of there being an ongoing split, OK -- it is your experience. But I suspect you can't roll up on many games at cons and demand to play by different rules than the DM wants to use generally, with edition changes just being one possible version of that. Running games for the public is hard enough without having to make a ruling on the fly about what some stranger wants you to incorporate into your game with the clock ticking. Again, go ahead and look through the ENWorld archives. A year after 3.5 came out, everyone had settled down into whatever their status quo was. By late 2025, I predict everyone will be back to fighting about alignments and warlock patrons again, rather than over some deep and abiding rift between 5E and 1D&D. [/QUOTE]
