I enjoy playing it too - again casually - but it's not my first choice game these days. I guess I care about it due to a sense of nostalgia, but also because it's a flagship game for the hobby and I want it to do well. However, the question is would I actually choose to buy it, support it and play it as my main game in the future? I ask this in the light of having 'bought into' a couple of rpgs in recent years that largely fulfill all my fantasy gaming needs (RuneQuest and The One Ring) in one way or another and I regard them both as outstanding games. Other gamers have been enthused about alternative forms of D&D with increasingly strong production values and support. There still seems to a huge need for a D&D-style fix amongst most gamers, but there are now lots of D&D-style games out there to compete with the brand. Now for me, the most likely event is that I will buy the pdf, play it at conferences most likely, and see how it goes from there - but my gut feeling is that I don't need another fantasy RPG. How do other people feel?</blockquote>
