[QUOTE="jdrakeh, post: 4626403, member: 13892"] I remember that transistion but only knew one Mage player who was as violently opposed to it as many people seem to be opposed to new editions of D&D. YMMV, of course, as I don't imagine my own experience to be universal (it is, however, the only experience that I can relate to). One somewhat odd thing I've noticed about D&D edition changes is that even D&D players who have little or [I]no[/I] investment in the current edition of the game (whatever it may be at a given time) seem to get [I]heavily[/I] involved with panning its planned replacement. I have [I]only[/I] ever seen this with regard to D&D. Those who opposed new editions of White Wolf games seemed to spring up only from players of the then current edition. Likewise, opponents to new editions of Shadowrun, HERO, etc seemed to come only from the fanbase of the edition then slated for discontinuation. This business of people who are playing an edition of a game that was discontinued [I]more than two decades ago[/I] rallying against the most recent edition of the same game? An edition that they have [I]absolutely no stake in[/I]? IME, that seems unique to D&D. I had actually been meaning to contact you about the DC Heroes thing. :blush: My funds are a little tight right now, not least because I'm incurring some heavy (and [I]completely[/I] unexpected) medical bills. Sadly, I've already jettisoned all of my D&D material, save for some old adventure modules which I deem as being suitable for any system. [/QUOTE]
