[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 3814324, member: 2205"] Depends on what you mean by grognard. There's the guys who've been playing since the early 80s or earlier. Probably mostly play beer & pretzels, published adventures, etc. Then there's the guys who like live and breathe D&D. IMO, it's the latter that are getting all up in arms about what are essentially minor changes to the minutia and esoterica of D&Diana that we've been previewed so far. I can't imagine that that's a really big percentage of the total market. Then we have the guys who are so old skool in their tastes that they just play OSRIC, AD&D 1e or C&C instead of D&D at all. If you mean the [i]first group[/i], however, then yeah---I think Orcus has it right, and it looks like this game is as catered towards their grognardy playstyle as much as anyones. Probably taking some serious steps at trying to recruit the third group as well. Honestly, the think the second group can probably be written off as unlikely to be happy with anything you do---but will end up buying it anyway. [/QUOTE]
