[QUOTE="rogueattorney, post: 5472740, member: 17551"] I think the main point of Mr. Mearls' blog is the last sentence. But how can we be joined together when we're all playing different games? Perhaps he means something other than playing games together when he says "joined together," but I'm not sure what. The cynic in me thinks that he means "buy WotC products." The less cynical side of me sees it as an invitation to older-edition players to take part in the 4e community. But what does WotC or a specifically 4e community or website have to offer my D&D game? You want me to join together with WotC and 4e players? Fine. How shall I do that if I don't particularly want to play 4e? If WotC wants me in the group, it would be nice if WotC offered something - anything - that I might like to use in my D&D games. As a contrary example, EnWorld, while certainly focused on more recent editions of D&D, often has quality discussion of the older edition. This gives me a reason to participate and be a part of the community. In short, I guess it's nice that Mr. Mearls is talking the talk. But until WotC walks the walk, I don't really have any method of "joining together" with 4e'ers through any instrument currently offered by WotC. [/QUOTE]
