Here's the gist, "Whole people who started gaming in 1982 are concerned about any changes to Vancian magic, a newcomer to the game will be frustrated by such a thing and will wonder why he/she can't model Harry Potter more effectively."I started gaming with Blue Box Basic, but I'm okay with changes to the game. I'm happy to see it evolving and thriving. Sure, some sacred cows will get killed off along the way, but if the game is more accessible to new gamers, then great. I balked at every new edition of the game, but eventually I settled in and had a grand time.I do agree with your fundamental point, Wik, and that is that too much change can potentially alienate who have been with the game for a long, long time.-----Iridia is a weekly zine about miniatures and role-playing games, old and new.
