[QUOTE="Mezuka, post: 8586411, member: 6746647"] Speaking for myself only, I gladly followed (and enjoyed) the 3e, 4e and 5e bandwagon when it passed by. Two years ago I switched to Fantasy AGE and three months ago to Shadow of the Demon Lord (excellent games) because something was bothering me. These games didn't remove the nagging feeling that I wanted something else. Recently, it dawned on me that what I long for is a flatter character power progression, few character powers, the return of magic items (found while adventuring) as the only way for characters to gain non-class powers. In short, less integrated verticality, more randomized horizontality. That is how D&D changed over the years IMHO. [I](I'm not saying I will play TSR editions. I just can't.
