[QUOTE="Crazy Jerome, post: 5755539, member: 54877"] Fair enough. Though I think it would be stronger had the place started as a pizza parlor instead of one of those hodge-podge places that served (greasy) pizza, burgers, and a bunch of other things. :p Looking at D&D as a whole, since its inception, I can see an argument for--2E as a lurch away from the "game" in favor of "storytelling", 3E as a lurch back to the "game" that over-corrected by trying to merge the two into a process, and 4E as an over-correction to that by hyper focus on replacing process with results. All anyone really wanted to do was get a slickly produced, streamlined, clear, relatively easy to understand and play version of D&D that more or less replicated what you could do (albeit with more effort and missteps) with Basic or the first AD&D. I still say that 5E could do worse than to start with the Rules Cyclopedia as a base, and then apply all the lessons learned making 2E, 3E, and 4E. [/QUOTE]
