[QUOTE="d20Dwarf, post: 2403350, member: 314"] Well, what I"m saying is that unless you know you are turning out the perfect game, then how could you be offended at the idea that you'd be able to go back and fix your mistakes and make an even better game? That's what I mean. When I heard Midnight was going to a fully revised 2nd edition, I wasn't upset or offended, I was thrilled! I *had* to get back and work on it so I could fix what needed fixing, and the game is better for the changes and additions that were made after a couple of years of feedback and play. I'm happy there's now a better game on the market. I wouldn't have asked had I not perceived that Monte thought D&D was as good as it could be and wouldn't need any updating. And then about AU, he stated that he's perfectly happy with it and didn't feel the need to make many content changes. So his contention that he was offended by the plan to update, followed by his saying that AU needed very little in the way of content updating, made me think that he is saying he's capable of making the perfect game the first time around. I'm only asking if that's the correct assessment, I'm not assailing him, I'm as perplexed by his statement as he is the idea that someone could put 100% into something and not have it turn out perfect. If it's possible to make the perfect game on the first try every time, then obviously I need to raise my bar a little higher. :D (Not that anyone I work for will ever give me that much development time :P.)
