[QUOTE="ForeverSlayer, post: 6222007, member: 91812"] Would it have been better if D&D Next was a completely new game that the designers created from scratch? The reason I believe this is because the problem with trying to please everyone with a game that takes elements from earlier editions is that it's usually the elements from those previous editions that caused certain players to not play that edition. I can't stand 4th edition but I do like Shadowrun and I know people who may like 4th edition but they also like Shadowrun so liking Shadowrun is what we have in common. A whole new system is something that could have brought all of us together instead of a hodge podge edition that already contains elements of a previous one that I don't like. If you take 2nd edition, 3rd edition and 4th edition elements and make a game from it then there is a portion of the game I don't like, and it could be enough to turn me off of the game entirely. In my opinion, it would have been better if everyone could have approached the game from a fresh slate. [/QUOTE]
