[QUOTE="MichaelSomething, post: 4119755, member: 51168"] Wizards of the Coast (WOTC) is doing many things right with 4th. They are reworking, rebalancing, and reinventing D&D to be a better game and I think that's great! However, WOTC is also doing many things wrong. They are abandoning many of their classic flavors elements that have defined D&D for over 25 years. This is upsetting to many people. If only there was some company that really liked the old flavor. A company dedicated to the old flavor. A company that would keep alive all the old traditions that were thought dead. A “necromancer” if you will? Maybe this company would print books with the 4th edition rules but keep the 1st edition flavor. They could print a book which would have all the things WOTC didn't print like Bards, Gnomes, Druids, etc. It would guide them towards classic play. They could also print a monster book with all the classic monsters in all their classic flavor. This company could even name said monster book after a classic module that was deadly but memorable. Hell, they could even do an adventure path full of classic flavor! But how could we be sure such books would be good, you may ask? Well, perhaps this company could have printed books in the era of 3rd edition, like adventures or maybe a giant book full of super powerful items that would shake campaign worlds? That way, this company would have a track record of quality products. If you never read these 3rd edition books, perhaps this company could release a free, downloadable adventure when 4th edition comes out? Try it before you buy it, if you will? If such a company existed, I bet it could be quite successful. It could sell books full of classic flavor to players who would prefer D&D to remain true to its roots. A player could play 4th edition with all of it new rules and still would be able to play with the classic flavor thanks to the products of this company. People who demand classic flavor would have that demand fulfilled. Wouldn’t that be great? Too bad there isn’t a company like that out there. If only such a company existed… [/QUOTE]
