Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lanefan" data-source="post: 4285863" data-attributes="member: 29398">"What is D+D?" is actually two questions in one.The first version is easily answered by: D+D is whatever TSR/WotC/whoever owns the marque next defines it to be, as they own the name and can do what they like with it.The second version is the tough one, more asking "When I think of D+D, what makes it what it is/was?"; and the answer here will be different for every one of us.  For my part, if I had to boil it down to one word, that word would be "mystery" on all levels - story, DM tables, items, spell effects, and so on - and it seems each successive edition is losing more of the mystery in its play.Lanefan</blockquote>
