[QUOTE="Summer-Knight925, post: 5471985, member: 80297"] anyone seen that movie Joe Dirt? with the part when he goes to his old house and the guy with the heavy accent means to say "home is where you make it" but Joe doesn't understand? D&D is what you make it, in fact, the name pretty much says what it is, sometimes there are dungeons and other times there are dragons thats about all you need for D&D the edition number is just rules and publications, for making money, thats all they are granted 2e to 3e was a big jump in understanding, I do fondly remember flipping through my fathers 1e books he still has and getting adventure ideas (INSIDE THE BLACKMOOR BOOK IS A COMPLETE ADVENTURE I STOLE! MWHAHAHAHAHAA! thats a DC 13 forgery check for all you 3.5ers out there) also, i did not update to 4e for 7 reasons: 1. my group didn't want to 2-6. I did not have the money 7. 3.5e was great, why mess with perfection? 4e just made D&D for a new branch of people, its meant to be easier so new players can pick it up theyre taking marketing ideas from MTG (magic: the gathering) not a bad thing....unless you are a seasoned player D&D is not about the number before the 'e' on the book, D&D is about being heroic, about going into a dungeon and fighting a dragon, looting his corpse as all lawful good paladins are taught to do and then using said gold to fund more adventures and if anyone has a problem with what I said, I do have improved initiative...just sayin, watchyoself [/QUOTE]
