[QUOTE="Dr. Strangemonkey, post: 3870311, member: 6533"] Not at all. If all of them did, I would be upset, but... Other people in this thread have complained about the initial movie for 4E insulting prior editions. Here's the thing. I thought it was clear that they kid because they love. They were putting themselves into a tradition of DnD kvetching and dynamism. DnD as a product of history was in no danger. And within that context? I am very comfortable with someone who dismissed two editions. Not because I hate those editions, but because the way he phrased that comment made it clear that he cares about the Hobby and how the brand works within it. If we want DnD to keep its traditions and its histories and work with them rather than stew in them, then we want the brand to evolve in terms of the hobby and not just in terms of itself. Or at least we should want at least one of its lead designers to think that way some of the time. [/QUOTE]
