[QUOTE="hafrogman, post: 5910822, member: 8858"] I think it has more to do with the widespread proliferation of the internet as a medium for discussion of gaming. For what it's worth, I personally heard a few complaints about some of the 2e 'Complete' books back in my day, and reviews of the 1e Unearthed Arcana are rife with accusations of munchkinism. But with the advent of the information age, gamers could discuss, share and complain about gaming issues in a brand new way, reaching out to many, many more people. People are very quick to lay blame on video games and M:tG to explain behavioral changes. I think it has more to do with a massive sweeping technological revolution that has changed the face of the world since I was a child. My first exposure to using the internet to discuss gaming was stumbling across a little site called 'Eric Noah's Unofficial 3rd Edition News'. [/QUOTE]
