[QUOTE="wedgeski, post: 3727003, member: 16212"] It's no surprise this thread has turned sour with the aspersions you were throwing around in your post, Reynard. Apparently you think that D&D players do not include 'fans of other kinds of entertainment and games' or those who watch sitcoms. Well, shock announcement: I've played D&D since the early 80's and yet I also watch sitcoms and play other games! At the end of the day, D&D must *survive*, while not losing sight of itself. I've said in many threads that there are certain elements of the game that I think must continue for it to still call itself 'D&D' with a straight face, but beyond that, I'm open-minded about any change and will try just about anything out. I'm excited about the DI, for example, not because I think it's going to revolutionize or change the game (it won't), but because it shows Wizards' commitment to the game and their willingness to dump money into new projects. 4e the same... the time is about right for a new iteration and I can't wait to see how all these new ideas pan out. If no new blood is attracted to the game, it will exist solely because of die-hard fans who refuse to let it go. That's not a hobby, that's life-support. It almost happened at the end of TSR's tenure and I thank my d20's that Wizards came along when they did. [/QUOTE]
