[QUOTE="Turjan, post: 3435708, member: 3477"] Both. The new book is shorter, because they didn't need to explain that much. Which was one of the goals of the new edition. That's okay. It's a fruitless discussion because most people on this board are completely off target regarding considerations like this. Sure. But the player base is aging. You don't only have to keep your fans, but you have to lure the young ones into the game to keep it successfully running for the next 30 years. I don't think an "Everything is fine as it is, we don't need to change a thing" attitude helps with this. And to repeat it: I don't say "Make D&D a rules light game because nobody can read those 1000 pages". That would be ridiculous. I just say that having a fully functional but less complex entry level game wouldn't be a bad thing for attracting a wider audience. If the game is open to add on all the fiddly bits without breaking the balance, it will also be fine for people who want their menu a bit more varied. Anyway, I'll have to see the new Star Wars first before I can even see whether it works well as is :). Let's talk about implications later ;). [/QUOTE]
