[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 4424901, member: 22779"] I think you're simply letting this fetish about dragonborn color your perceptions. What campaign can you play in 3e that I cannot play in 4th? Or, any other edition for that matter? Could I not play Keep on the Borderlands in every single edition of D&D? Would it be an incredible stretch to make Isle of Dread playable in every edition? How about World's Largest Dungeon? Can I do that? Slave Lords? Temple of Elemental Evil (in various incarnations?)? Red Hand of Doom? Serpent Amphora? What campaign setting can I absolutely not play in 4th edition? Since you are claiming that 4th is so much more narrow in focus and scope, it should be easy to find campaigns that I can no longer do. you are claiming that homebrewers will have a much more difficult time doing "generic fantasy" with 4e, so, enlighten me. What campaign of the past can I absolutely not do in 4e? Pre-existence =/= generic. After all, King Arthur has been around for a very long time, but, is Arthurian fantasy now considered generic? Look at the huge numbers of completely made up monsters that make up D&D - stuff that is considered pretty much bread and butter of D&D now. It's never been the bland, generic stuff that's defined the game, it's been the weird stuff, chests that eat you, cubical monsters that disolve you, wizards with bizarre names that are usually anagrams. That'S what defines D&D. Look, I listened to the Penny Arcade podcasts of that session they played on the WOTC site. It was funny. I enjoyed it. But, I defy anyone to listen to that podcast and then try to claim that they are not playing D&D. Same geeky humour, same crap happening, dice being rolled, expletives being uttered. :D Those guys were playing 4e and they were playing D&D. [/QUOTE]
