[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 5497977, member: 22779"] Oh, fair enough. I figured that since for much of D&D's history, there have been multiple supported editions of D&D in print at the same time, the Tent simply means "Playing D&D in some form". 3e players have support from Paizo, 4e from WOTC. Basic/Expert D&D players, 1e and 2e players all had support from TSR at the same time (all three editions saw more than a couple of years of overlap of printing). Is there really a large difference? But, if your tent only means "The most current iteration of D&D", then sure, I can see how the tent feels smaller when it doesn't speak directly to you. Then again, the tent now speaks directly to me, so, is the tent smaller, larger or the same size, just with different people inside? After all, since Raven Crowking is posting in this thread, 3e certainly didn't speak to him. 300 pages of house rules and a pretty strident constant criticism of all things 3e would mean to me that the 3e tent wasn't too comfortable for him. Now, the 4e tent still doesn't speak to him, so, I guess it's a wash. The assumption here is that 3e somehow had broader appeal than 4e. That 3e supported various playstyles better than 4e. That's a pretty difficult thing to prove. [/QUOTE]
