Message: <blockquote data-quote="Wisdom Penalty" data-source="post: 4120510" data-attributes="member: 13287">I think I need to restate a couple things from my original post.1) I'm not telling you what edition to like.  I'm not insisting you like anything.  That'd be arrogant, fruitless, and stupid.  What I was trying to express was that the success of 4E is important to all of us, and that its failure would be detrimental to our hobby as a whole. Ergo, if you care about the hobby, and if you agree with such a opinion, you should thusly want 4E to succeed.2) I do equate WotC to the gaming industry.  If you disagree with this assumption, then - yes - all of my other thoughts sorta collapse upon themselves. I understand why folks would not agree with me on this, and I wish I had numbers to prove the case one way or the other.*3) Lastly, to reiterate one thing: We need new blood in our hobby. Again, if you don't care/disagree, then alot of my other corollaries fall apart as well......sorta like any expectation that we could achieve or discuss a sense of community cohesion without slandering certain editions, corporate hiveminds, or talking how D&D left us rather than us leaving it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />W.P.* One obit for Gary claimed approximately "25 million" D&D players worldwide.  I think that's wildly too high.  I think the last print runs of Dungeon mag were about 25-30 thousand. Read into those what you will; they're the only numbers I've got.</blockquote>
