[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 4924917, member: 957"] No offense taken. You seem to presume that there is something special about Dungeons and Dragons. I happily left 2E when I found better games. In no remote way was I "left behind" because I was not playing D&D. If anything, I had left D&D behind and was moving on to greener pastures. And now, from my point of view, I have moved forward again, a small amount, with the advent of Pathfinder. While at the same time I see D&D as having regressed to something less than what it once was. (I suppose one could say I have been "left behind" on the high ground.) But I most absolutely would not say that anyone who likes 4E has been left behind or regressed. Because every bit of that is completely tied to what I personally want in my gaming sessions. For you, you have moved forward, just on a different path. I guess you could say I am disappointed in the sense that I can't help but imagine what further progress could have been made in some alternate universe where 4E had been something I would consider progressive. But I'm not disappointed in the changes themselves, as they have no impact on me. At least not beyond me sending my gaming budget to a different company these days. [/QUOTE]
