[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 4873775, member: 7635"] Heh. I SOLD it partially on the "nostalgia" kicker! As one player put it "Its nostalgic for you (since you started in BD&D) but not for us (since we started in 2e)." Another said "Well, if we're going to go back, why don't we just dust off our 2e material." Ha! Good point! The general consensus (excluding one diehard 4e fan and myself) is 3.x is fine enough, they shouldn't have messed with it. Anything earlier brings up ghosts best left forgotten (differing XP tables, 5 save slots, thief % skills) but 4e basically went too far in changing everything to become hyper-balanced and thus "bland". (This is not an EW: these are my players thoughts, not mine. Don't argue with me, these don't represent my views) One is a DM (3e). One DMed before (but would rather play; he'd also like to play 4e). Otherwise I agree with you; its a very "closed-minded" view on things, but short of kicking everyone out to run a game I'm not even sure would last long (it might NOT be what I wanted after all) I'm kinda in a bind.
