Now ideally for most of us it does, and that set of rules is 3.x. But in my opinion the rules of the game are needed to facilitate the stories and modules and dungeon crawls of the game. I really wish there would be a singular system kind of like monopoly, an ever green system. In my opinion we HAVE that but wizards (assuming pressure from hasbro) keep trying to make a new "evergreen" system for D&D. First 4th edition was made to fix the errors from 3.5 edition. And then 4th edition essentials was made as an evergreen entry point of the system. They said they wanted all stores to always have this in stock. So when that didn't stick they started pushing for 5th edition, or as they like to say the new iteration (it's almost annoying how they stick to that word and avoid all others). They just need to stick to a damn set of rules and let the worlds , ideas and systems flourish. With all these new systems coming out we have to reinvent everything from scratch or heavy modification. I LOVE enworld and paizo for sticking to their guns and giving the 3rd edition rules the love they deserve. The rules aren't perfect, but they can be modified just as well as any other system. When I saw the 5th edition rules there wasn't anything in there that couldn't be accomplished by using some variant 3rd edition rules .Surely I cant be the only person that feels this way ? Wizards say they want reunification , but honestly making ANOTHER iteration of D&D instead of going back to 3rd edition, or sticking with their 4th edition makes me think of this comic. > <a href="http://xkcd.com/927/" target="_blank">xkcd: Standards</a> this is exactly what is going to happen, and it's going to divide everyone even more. Its infuriating and there's absolutely nothing that I can do about it except support you guys who keep on going with our standard ogl rules set. You have my eternal thanks from this gamer.</blockquote>
