Message: <blockquote data-quote="FireLance" data-source="post: 4532118" data-attributes="member: 3424">I think whether D&D has actually reinvented itself depends very much on what you expect from it.What I expect from D&D is not a pre-determined slate of races, classes, or settings. Rather, what I expect from D&D is an adventure game centered around the PCs going into a dangerous place, exploring it, overcoming (or not) the monsters and challenges there, and (if they don't mess up) becoming richer and stronger. I can certainly see having a preference for the mechanics of one version of D&D over another, or having a preference for the mechanics of a different fantasy role-playing game. I can also see having a preference for a particular type of setting over another. What I don't agree with is the assertion that changing the mechanics or the setting of D&D somehow changes its theme.</blockquote>
