I think my experience was the minute I got onto a D&D forum for the first time to eagerly talk to people and share ideas about this new and interesting edition of D&D (and I really had not at all thought about any issues of play style, which at the time I wasn't nearly as conscious about) I was instantly mugged by an army of fanatics who seemed hell-bent on making sure any D&D that wasn't exactly tuned to their oddly super-specific requirements was anathema and you couldn't even have an enjoyable discussion. It sure didn't at all make me want to be sympathetic to anyone's different agendas and most of us that like 4e very quickly learned to just draw very specific lines and not even consider discussions with people on the other side of them, because 99% of the time they seemed just to be out to make all conversation impossible. I sort of feel like the final result of all this is that WotC turned its back on all of us that actually enjoyed, advocated, bought, and stuck up for what they were trying to do. It makes it rather hard to even talk about DDN as it is now or in some form that doesn't at least vindicate our opinions about 4e in some fashion. Its kind of a slap in the face really. This is sad because it really isn't where WotC is trying to come from, or where plenty of people here on Enworld are trying to come from, but I feel like I'll be damned if I am going to back down from what I have taken so much criticism for liking. You know what I mean?So, yeah, in a reasonable sense my feeling is that if we had a game that was halfway between you and me, being somewhat polar opposites, it wouldn't be too bad, and we could work on doing our own things with it. OTOH like I say it is so bitter a pill that many of us aren't likely to ever swallow it. 10 years from now it will all be water under the bridge. RIGHT NOW, I want support for all the stuff I have in 4e in DDN. I wouldn't even comment on DDN except there was that hope that we could get a game that was 4e but better. lol.</blockquote>
