There are many fantasy games on the market and even a few generic ones. D&D should not have to change the very things that made it famous and recognizable for the sake of more mass appeal. D&D has been its own genre from the earliest days, a mishmash of classic fantasy and gonzo crazy stuff from science fiction, horror, and whatever else a DM wanted to toss into the mix. Almost from the beginning there were those who wanted a different fantasy than D&D offered and some of them created their own games such as Runequest to better realize that vision. D&D is fine conceptually as it was originally designed. It is certainly NOT generic fantasy, it has a distinct flavor. With so many other options to choose from on the market today I don't get why so many people insist on wanting to change D&D. Let D&D be itself. I'm not always in the mood for the D&D style and thats when I play other games. Playing a different game is so much easier than sitting around and hoping the designers at a particular company just happen to produce the perfect game under a particular brand. D&D is not GURPS.  I enjoy GURPS fantasy because it is NOT like D&D. I can play games with a completely different feel.</blockquote>
