Message: <blockquote data-quote="Li Shenron" data-source="post: 5827700" data-attributes="member: 1465">There's something bothering me about continually revising the game like a software program...If I understand right, OD&D got updated multiple times (there were the white box, the B/X, the BECMI...) but people still play all of them. If you have the B/X edition, you don't care what came before or after, you play the game and it works.I'm not really aware of how it works in 4e, so probably here I'm just thinking of an exaggerated model, but the feeling I get is that if a game is in continual revision mode, it's much harder to understand how you should play it, unless you're either playing the first (printed) version or the last (current online) version. You're kind of forced to be up to date all the time with the rules, and the rules may be updated in waves but also by patches and individual fixes...</blockquote>
