And sometimes they exploded.2E was the Aluminum Age. It was shiny but not very sturdy, massive quantities were produced, and at the end TSR crumpled up into a little ball.3E was the Carbon Age. Depending on how good you were at assembling tiny pieces of the rules, your character could be a diamond, or a lump of coal.4E was the Thorium Age. Proponents claimed that it offered the same power as previous systems, while being cleaner and more reliable and better in every way. Yet somehow it never caught on.5E is the Hydrogen Age. It's the simplest to date, it's abundant in streams, it's created a lot of new stars, and people have grandiose visions for it that may or may not ever be realized.</blockquote>
