[QUOTE="samursus, post: 6046996, member: 64280"] My 2cp. I am an unabashed lover of any and every new iteration of D&D. Started with B/X and loved every new edition since.... at least for awhile :). I will admit to a certain level of fickleness when it comes to D&D. I get excited by possibilities, but when it ceases to work for me, I'll walk away. IME I can tell the stories I want with any edition, regardless of mechanics, but as I have evolved, so too have my preferences. 1e brought so much complexity and mystery into my D&D, but eventually I found it too arcane and clunky. I loved the added options and settings of 2e, but soon discovered that it was fatally (IMO) unbalanced. I loved the unified mechanics and simulationist aspect of 3e, but soon after found it too much work to DM. Loved the balance and ease of DMing of 4e, but soon found combats took too long and felt something undefinable missing. And B/X is not sophisticated enough for my tastes anymore. Ultimately, as time has gone on, the biggest problem is that now its hard to bring everyone together anymore. OF those I have played D&D with in the past couple decades, some prefer B/X, some 2e, some 3.5 and some 4e. Some of those preferences and dislikes are pretty hardcore. So, I can get behind most changes, just because they are new or new to me. And I am liking the thought behind the playtests, bringing old-school and innovation together. I consider all editions D&D, and maybe this is why I have the greatest hope for DDN. I hope it can bring a majority of players together and allow me to resurrect some of my old groups with a game that we can all get behind. Could happen. :) [/QUOTE]
