Message: <blockquote data-quote="WhosDaDungeonMaster" data-source="post: 7532005">Actually, your tastes might have changed, but most people's don't. They like the same foods, going to the same places they are familiar with, enjoy listening to the same songs for years, and so on. Sure, people try new things and some old things fade away or are replaced, but a lot of what we have loved for a long time stays with us. How many people cringe when a new OS comes out, for example? Change can be welcome, but it isn't always to everyone's liking.That could easily be true. 2E went rampant with it, mostly with campaign settings, guide books, and several monsterous conpendium additions. Too many options turned me off of 3E, although I tried it for a couple years. I never played 4E or Pathfinder, so I can't attest to those. And 5E has been around for a while, so it might not seem like a lot to you, but for someone who is just starting it, there are already a lot of options. Considering it will probably go on for 4-6 more years before 6E, how much bloat will it have then?2E was basically just a rewrite of 1E with slight changes and additions. I like the reworking for proficiencies in 2E (compared to the 1E offering in the Survival Guides), and the Initiative system was easier to follow. Dragons were made more powerful, which was also nice. From 1978 until 2007, I played my 1E (and later 1E/2E combo) very happily from Elementary School through Graduate School. Given how eager players seem to be to move from on to new things now, I seriously doubt many people will be playing 5E twenty years from now...You could easily be right, but at this point I am sure 5E is giving the record a run for its money. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />At any rate, this thread has deviated from my original post to the point I am done with it. If any of you wish to continue it, enjoy.</blockquote>
