[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 6279002, member: 58416"] "In summary, the main focus is on story, not mechanics." At first glance, I think that's cool. However, upon second thought, I'm a bit cautious. I'm cautious because, thus far, the design mentality has used language I liked, but with apparently different meanings to the words than I thought they meant. With that in mind, I question what exactly is meant by the quote above. I do like a focus on story; however, I also believe that some mechanics lend themselves toward certain types of story and stories better than others. If the thought toward D&D's future is that mechanics don't matter at all, then I feel as though the game will be far different than what I want... despite multiple editions being supported. I feel that way because I believe certain editions of D&D do better at some types of stories than others; as such, an edition agnostic approach to adventure design and story is something I question.
