[QUOTE="Roland55, post: 4084837, member: 52303"] The emphasis above is mine. I think Mustrum is correct. It seems to me there truly are enough changes of both general types that it will be hard for many to make the leap. As in every past Edition change, people will be left behind. Potentially, quite a few this time. Personally, I somehow got past this somewhere around the leap from 1E to 2E (yes -- I am fully aware that's a simplification!). I've looked at each new Edition as a [U]new game [/U] based on the same [U]general "theme." [/U] That has helped me enjoy each Edition; I'm essentially 'partitioning' each Edition and avoiding intercomparisons. Instead, I just ask "Can I enjoy this new fantasy role-playing game?" If the answer is yes, and it always has been, I'm off and running ... again. :) Since some of my closest friends never really moved into 2E, let alone 3E, I've also learned to exist amicably with severe critics of 'the new stuff.' You know ... it doesn't hurt to play the original games once in awhile, and if Jeff and Larry don't want to play 'the new stuff' I can be sure that Laura and Dave do. I don't take criticisms of games ... any games ... personally. "That way lies madness." :cool: [/QUOTE]
