[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 6250279, member: 92511"] Interesting topic and thread. I completely disagree with the OP but that's just me/my point, as I'll get to later. So, to help form a mutual understanding and timeline I threw together this. [as far as wikipedia can tell me, so if anything's inaccurate, feel free to let us know -and go correct it :) ] [ATTACH=CONFIG]60342._xfImport[/ATTACH] From this, and note this is not takign into account anything like various campaign settings, adventure modules, novels, cartoons, toys, video games or any of the other D&D stuff that came out...shoot I even forgot to include Pathfinder's appearance on the scene....but you get the gist...I hope. The claims of what was/is a Golden/Silver/Bronze or Stone age are, like just about all things in D&D RPG, a simple matter of personal preference and perspective- When you started playing D&D and when you [believe you] had the best time. Schism or Unification, Diversity (as a positive or negative) Inclusive, Exclusive...the game [or rpg's as a whole, which is really a separate discussion] is better/worse off because it is "expanding" or in its expansion actually just "diffusing"?...Is one option/series/edition/number of years "better" or "worse" than the others? Depends on what you want out of your "Dungeons & Dragons". And there's simply no objective answer for that that can be applied as "across all D&D." [/QUOTE]
