Message: <blockquote data-quote="Galloglaich" data-source="post: 4748759" data-attributes="member: 77019">Don't get me wrong, no version of DnD yet has been perfect, and I liked a lot of the changes done in 3E and the attempt to make it more logical, and even some of the innovations of 4E, but I think the Basic Set / Advanced Books paradigm of 1E was the closest so far to a modular system, which is to say not very close, but I suspect that is the reason for the "Renaissance" of the old school games, to the point that they may have been cancled partly due to being seen as a threat to 4E.  Brilliantly put, that is sig-line material.  Great point, we are seeing more and more mainstream applications of the role-playing paradigm that DnD basically invented, and the sad thing is they have left DnD way behind. I’d like to see DnD take it’s proper role back.  I agree… that is what I meant by the Buggs Bunny analogy. I think there are good childrens books, like say, Where the Wild Things Are or Dr Seuss, which still appeal to me and to many adults. These are the masterpieces, which speak to the intelligence of their audience in a way that they can relate to whether they get all the jokes or not. But there is also that other type which relies on the delusions of childhood, this is the kind of childish or adolescent genre I don’t like, and definitely don’t want to be forced into.  Well, there is that OGL license out there, I believe something like this could be created fairly easily by a group of like-minded people on an open-source model. I have been saying for a while, a few of us should get together and we should start a wiki… G. P.S. I feel your pain on the 177 HP Half-Orc ... try a spiked chain I hear they take 'em down to size real good...</blockquote>
