[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8848361, member: 22779"] And that's fine. But, the understanding has to be that just because stuff is removed, doesn't mean it's an attack on anything. Stuff that came before is not in any way better or worse than what comes later and should receive absolutely no protection. You still HAVE all the stuff that came before. Nothing can take that away from you. So, when a new take on an older product comes along (like Curse of Strahd or whatever) that in no way is a reflection on the things you like. You now have two options where before you had only one. More options is a good thing. Insisting (and let's be honest here, it's more than insisting in a lot of cases - it's downright demanding) that things must never be changed or removed is only great if you happen to like what came before. It's gate-keeping. You're demanding that the game must only cater to you, and what you like, regardless of anyone else. I've never really understood it to be honest. How is it a bad thing to have fifteen different versions of something? Pick the version you like and go forward. WotC gave us fey-Kender. Now, they aren't canon and they won't feature in the new Dragonlance book, but, y'know what? I don't care. If I ever run a Dragonlance campaign? I'm certainly going to push the fey kender narrative and see if I can't get my players to go along with it. Might not work - the players might want standard Kender. And that's fine. I'll live with it. But, I now have the option of having two different origin stories for Kender where before I only had one. Fantastic. [/QUOTE]
