[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 6543874, member: 957"] Sure I'm not certain that is realistic from a business perspective. And is achieved many times over from a play perspective. Just look at the people who play Basic D&D, 1E, etc... The "compatible" part is of course open to debate. But people adapt stuff all the time. For the record, I'm not personally hung up on "evergreen". I like buying new things and seeing new ideas. If the game itself meets your definition of evergreen, but lack of new product drops the buzz out and it become shard to find groups, is it still evergreen? Being able to actually play with other people (easily form a group) is not on your criteria. Should it be? No challenge meant in that. I'm just saying, the very idea is complex. I think WotC wants it to be "evergreen" and their definition is "it is still the buzzword for geek activity recognized by the mainstream, so we can market it". If I'm right (at least a 3% chance, maybe more) then they will play a game of trying to string the fan base along. And all of our debates about what we actually want or think become moot. :) [/QUOTE]
