[QUOTE="JoeGKushner, post: 4965817, member: 1129"] I was born in 1971. A fair reader in my youth but nothing to compare to Joe. I actually started gaming with the yellow box. What's that? Marvel Super Heroes. While I enjoyed the Hobbit and other assorted fantasy tales, my true love was for Marvel Super Heroes by TSR. One of my friends noticed the publisher and pointed me out to D&D. He played many a bastardized version ranging from 'basic/expert/etc...' to AD&D to throwing in Role Aids. Different people are looking to the game system to give them different things. Some have feelings of being taken out of the game by certain parts of different systems. While I can see it, it hasn't been a problem for me. When I read over on Penny Arcade some of the set ups they have, I'm jealous. Some great gaming going on there. Gaming changes. It will continue to change. I've mentioned before that I would not be surprised to see D&D become an app for your phone. With Google planning to sell books in the future that will be readable on any web browser. Apple planning a iPod around the size of a comic.... well, I can't be the only one to see it. As long as I continue to enjoy myself and my players enjoy the game, or when I play I enjoy the game, I will continue to game. When it comes to different gaming styles and playing with people I don't like, I skip it. I'm too old to waste time doing that. When it comes to finding non-D&D games, not only is Games Plus one of the best hobby stores in the Chicagoland region, there's the internet itself. While I love Games Plus, it's utility isn't as awesome as it was in the 80's. Not that it doesn't have a massive stock and backlog of many a game, but rather that you can get so muc of what you might want online. Complaining that you can't find variant game systems in the year 2009 is odd. While I can see not wishing to use Buy.Com or Amazon.com or any number of other services, it's a huge handicap to put yourself under. While I'm not welcoming the electronic overlords, I am watching them with some level of curiosity and wondering what the future will bring and when it'll be my turn to have the old man rant. [/QUOTE]
