Playing different versions, especially AD&D and 4e broadens the horizons deeply. Adding other TTRPGs to it also greatly expands viewpoints. I am forever grateful my early geek friends did not mind trying Dangerous Journeys, Rolemaster, MERP, Earth Dawn, Gamma World, etc. It helped shape my view to a broader perspective. I agree. That is why players expand their view from having different DMs, and DMs expand their view from having different players. But those same players expand their view by DMing and DMs by playing. And they may never learn until they get both of those experiences. (ie Being a DM and then playing is not making your own sauce. Its watching someone else make the sauce and trying it. Same with players becoming a DM.</blockquote>
