[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 5989528, member: 996"] Throughout human history, people have said things like that right before they repeated a well-known blunder of the past. ;) There's been some of that. 3.0 had the 'back to the dungeon' campaign, for instance, that was reaching back to the 'dungeon crawl' style of early D&D after a decade of 2e setting-focus. 4e reversed (well, didn't directly build upon) 3e's dramatic changes (improvements, IMHO) to multi-classing. Maybe it'll turn out to be to a greater degree this time around. Both can be solid marketing. It just depends on the target market. If the target market is 40-something, well-healed, and nostalgic, 'back to the past' can make you a bundle. [/QUOTE]
