[QUOTE="Brother MacLaren, post: 4117327, member: 15999"] I saw nothing like what you saw on the transition to 3E. TSR had gone [I]bankrupt[/I]. TSR. The 800-lb gorilla of the gaming industry. The pioneer of the entire hobby. The idea that any company would pick up the remains of D&D and continue supporting it was a good thing. Everybody I knew was more relieved that D&D would continue than anxious about how it would change. And late 2E was so horribly broken with poorly-conceived splatbooks that it was best to let the new owners wipe the slate clean and start anew. In fact, I was happier that a new team was taking over, I was that disappointed with the late 2E material. Had [I]TSR [/I] introduced 3E, with the same design team that was behind the late 2E books that I disliked, I wouldn't have gone for 3E. The team behind 4E has been pretty clear about their design philosophies and what they think makes a game more fun. Between their statements and their late 3.5 material, they've let me know that 4E isn't the game for me. [/QUOTE]
