[QUOTE="Luce, post: 6052107, member: 29760"] I think it was more that during 1e the majority of the follower were hardcore, while as it gained popularity the ratio of casual games increased. I do not use the term in any way derogatory. I just feel that some people come to play at the table and do not spend large amount of time thinking about the game in their daily life. They do not read articles, of hang on forums:angel: trying to analyze the game or get the latest build. They are there to have fun. Nothing wrong with this. Contrast with the early days of the game where the game was much more niche targeting people of college age or older. 1e PHB & DMG can be a spring of inspiration (it breathes character) however I do not see many 8-12 year olds being able to grasp it, while I regularly see people that age to play in and even run Encounters of 4e in the FLGS. Am I saying that 1e is any way not a god game? NO! Just think that it has a different set of goals in mind and is targeted for older people.
