[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 8193014, member: 15700"] Let’s say D&D wasn’t invented yet, and let’s assume RPGs didn’t get created yet either for the sake of argument. If the game were to be created today, what would it look like and how would it be different from the white box? I think the obvious one would be presentation. With modern computers, publishing software, and access to freelancers, I think the game would be presented fairly professionally. I also think it would be a full game, rather than have add on references as the white box was in reference to Chainmail. Concept wise, the classes and races would be pretty similar. It’s easy to call them primitive from today’s standards, but if it were a new concept that came out today, I don’t see that changing. After all, the concepts and ideas are based off of imagination, not technology, and thus would be close to the same. Then I also think it would be presented a bit more inclusive, as our views as a society now are much different than 1974. [/QUOTE]
