[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 9704136, member: 4534"] Heck, too many editions can cause some confusion among customers. Imagine trying to explain to grandma the difference between Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, the Dungeons & Dragons Rules Cyclopedia, or Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition so she knows what to get you for Christmas. Or explaining to mom you want the Forgotten Realms boxed set not the Dark Sun, Ravenloft, or Birthright boxed sets. Someone completely new to D&D right now could conceivably purchase the 2014 PHB on accident. I was recently checking out Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying Game because they're releasing Warhammer: The Old World Role Playing Game. I have no real idea what the difference is. It's confusing. But, yeah, too much lore can be a problem. I purchased Runequest a few months back in a Humble Bumble. It's got a great setting, but there's so much to it I opted out. Even if I read it all, most of my players would not, and unless they understand the setting the game won't be very fun. [/QUOTE]
