Bull puckey. It is surviving because of what it is, and in fact the success of the D&D miniatures game, which is nothing more than a simplified version of the gridded D&D combat system. If he wants to complain, over, and over, and over, then yes, he should find a different system. D&D is succeeding as an RPG, so tone it down. If you want to add 'in my opinion', or 'it seems to me' then go ahead, but as soon as you start proclaiming from Mt. Sinai I write you off. It is not that you are not allowed to have an opinion, goodness knows the world would be a much duller place if everyone agreed, but do not proclaim that yours is the one true way, 'cause it ain't.And it is quite possible to run combat without the grid - I have done so since 3.0 came out and did not start using a grid when 3.5 came out. All that the grid represents is a way of simplifying things for people who do not like having to haul out rulers for movement and determining ranges - something that you have to do any time you use miniatures for combat in any RPG.The Auld Grump</blockquote>
