[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 5160745, member: 4937"] That was my theory for the longest time as well, and the less positively I thought of D&D, the more strongly I was attracted to that theory. But I also now have a hard time believing that theory, and not just because being first to market is only occassionally a path to market dominance and even morely leads to market dominance over decades while competing products are offered. Over the last 10 years, I've had a oppurtunity to reassess my one time hatred toward 1e AD&D, and I've come almost full circle around from thinking I was a whole lot smarter than the guys who created D&D and thinking that there was almost nothing that they got wrong, to being absolutely amazed at how much they got right and how easy it is to miss the basics. I've played quite a few RPGs over the years. Many of them are quite fun. But I have relatively desire to go back and create Star Wars capaigns, or Chill campaigns, or any of the other games which I have enjoyed participating in equally to D&D. I'm certainly not still playing 'D&D' in a recognizable form because of my lack of desire to teach new systems or tinker with the rules or try new systems. [/QUOTE]
