[QUOTE="AWizardInDallas, post: 4442609, member: 52605"] Because 4E communities threaten the right to exist of 3.5 communities and the future of 3E is still uncertain. Historically, there has only been ONE version of the game in active company-supported production. Someone on this forum literally said that 4E is the "new hotness" and that if we are not playing the latest version then we are essentially obsolete. That is a very unwelcoming statement. See if you can find an active 1E or 2E community? There are none. That will be us in a few years. We will have been made to go underground, with the chances of finding players for our version of the game rapidly diminishing with each passing minute. This is what Celtavian cannot reconcile. We are being slowly banished. The only hope for us is that for the first time in history there may actually be TWO popular versions of D&D, except that the second will be called something else. Still, again for the first time in D&D history, we will be a house divided. Unlike Celtavian, I feel somewhat differently, in that the aliens will have to pry the version of D&D I play from my cold dead hands after the nuclear holocost before I stop playing. So a little thing like being banished by fellow travelers won't stop me. [/QUOTE]
