[QUOTE="Lonely Tylenol, post: 4021078, member: 18549"] Hey, guess what? I got started on blue box too, and I want something completely different than you do. I guess these "back in my day, we played D&D with rocks and sticks, and we liked it! You kids these have no imagination!" comments that keep creeping into these 4E threads may perhaps be overgeneralizing. Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that anyone we're addressing on these messageboards is a veteran player of many years, who started with 1st edition, if not OD&D, and format our generalizations about the origins of their preferred playstyle with that in mind. Those who do not agree with you are not just a bunch of 14-year old kids who got their heads rotted out with video games. And I mean no disrespect for actual 14-year-olds, who I find are generally more willing to think outside the box than 40-something grognards who absolutely must have things operate they way they've played it for the last 30 years or it "just isn't D&D anymore!!!1" [/QUOTE]
