[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 6223241, member: 87792"] I only disagree with you in one way; D&D has emphatically not remained the same since 1974. In fact I'd go so far as to declare each edition with the possible exception of 3.5 a different game that focussed on 1: Different things than the previous edition did when it was written 2: What the previous edition was actually focussing on when the new one was in development. For instance 1e was the complicated game of dungeon crawling with lots of rules. 2e on the other hand was written as a game that was both largely compatible with 1e but with all the guidance and some of the rules pointing to something more akin to the Dragonlance Saga. If you read the 1e and 2e DMG it is very clear that they are very much not the same game. And generally people moved away from and towards games for a reason. D&D just gets to say it's remained unchanged because it shares a handful of names for things that are used in very different ways. [/QUOTE]
