[QUOTE="Man in the Funny Hat, post: 6046473, member: 32740"] I quite agree. Actually, even before Pathfinder came out I was becoming disillusioned with 3E and though it had some interesting bits PF didn't exactly cure the ills I saw. 4th was never going to be my cup of tea and never moved to that either. I drifted BACK to 1E and have been there since. Not playtesting 5E and reading only minimal topics about it - doubtful about it's appeal to me once it's ready in a couple years. Have to agree with that aw well. Laudable goals to be sure but the ability to please everyone with just one game? Not gonna happen IMO. That, I DON'T think is true. It's not that hard to grok what's important to the OSR crowd. I think the problem is that they don't want to go that direction. It's harder to sell stuff to the OSR crowd since a LARGE chunk of OSR attitude... advocates for self-reliance, is I suppose a way to put it. WotC wants a game they can sell once and continue to sell support for in a constant stream. If you're doing Old School correctly :) you don't need nearly as much support once you get going. [/QUOTE]
