[QUOTE="Clavis, post: 3958508, member: 31898"] I am a gamer. I primarily play D&D and D&D variants, however. I am DMing a Castles and Crusades game right now, but I'll play in any edition of D&D. I won't DM 3.x, however, because I consider it too rules heavy for my taste. I love Gygaxian-style fantasy as embodied in 1st Edition AD&D, which causes me to have a negative opinion of the upcoming 4th edition. I still consider myself a D&D player, however, and remain interested in what's happening with the game. I do not consider myself a Grognard in any way, because I have always thought that 1st Edition had a lot of problems that could have been fixed with more unified rules. I hated 2nd Edition, however, because I felt like TSR had taken out the adult flavor from the game in order to placate the Mothers of America. I DM C&C because I feel like it fixes 1st Edition's rules problems while retaining the Gygaxian flavor that I love, and I can freely use material from ANY of old D&D books and issues of Dragon that I own. I see the ENworld forums as THE place to discuss D&D, with a primary focus on the currently produced rules set, and a secondary focus on its related games (previous editions, C&C, True20, etc.) I have no problem with the fact the ENworld is always going to focus on whatever the currently produced D&D rules are, because there are already other forums devoted to previous editions.
