[QUOTE="Saracenus, post: 5477913, member: 47839"] I have seen 5E: [IMG]http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn252/Saracenus/DD5e_72pix.jpg[/IMG] The image is something I whipped up during when 4e (WotC) hysteria was fresh and new, you know back in 2008. Me, I go out and got my game on (4e happens to be by preference) and I am happy. My friends that I converted to 3.5 from 2e just before 4e's launch are happy playing their bi-weekly Pathfinder RPG campaign. They are happy. The over a hundred folks that got back into D&D or discovered it for the first time when I helped launch D&D Encounters (DDE) in Portland are out there playing. They are happy. We have Pathfinder RPG, D&D 3e, D&D4e games filling up the weekly calendar at my local shop. DDE is still going strong (and has spread to most of the stores in the local area) and Pathfinder society now has a day too. The Dungeon Divas (an all women RPG group at the store) just got done with Serenity. Those folks are happy. If someone wanted to run 1e, 2e or some other earlier version or even a retro-clone I will bet there is an audience here. And I would welcome them with open arms as brothers and sisters. It used to be there was almost nothing but Warhammer, Magic, and other competitive games filling the schedule. While WotC was not 100% responsible for this flowering, if they hadn't supported in store play (at a significant cost) most of this would not be happening. You know what I have found from all this? This forum is not D&D. Its not talking about it. Its not fighting about it. That is all noise. D&D is the act of playing with people around a table and finding their happy, that is D&D. Kicking down doors, killing the monsters, and looting their treasure... that is D&D. Role-playing with my fellow gamers, that is D&D. Stupid puns and jokes at the table, that is D&D. Waiting with baited breath for the die to stop rolling to see if you succeed or fail, that is D&D. Having some fun while doing that, that is D&D. So stop this pettiness and go out and play some D&D! If there isn't a ready game available, then do what I did and make it happen because arguing what is or isn't D&D is not D&D. My two coppers, [/QUOTE]
