[QUOTE="ferratus, post: 4688663, member: 55966"] I'm not sure I get the whole attitude of "D&D should be like edition X" when there already is those editions. Even if you want "like edition X but cleaned up" there are lots of opportunities to get new rules, new adventures, new campaign guides and settings for any edition of D&D you'd like to have. OSRIC, Pathfinder, Hackmaster, Lejendary Journeys, and so forth all exist for your convenience. Even if Habsro/WotC eventually decide that there is no money to be made in the RPG industry and box the property, they'll probably still license it or a new pseudo-D&D game will fill the void. I would rather a new edition not be afraid to experiment, even if it is a flop or a mistake. I think an edition should be scrutinized as to what it could do better, or what aspects of the edition ultimately fail to deliver on what the design goals are. One should keep in mind that a new edition is trying to achieve different goals with a different design team as well. But the whole idea that the experiments that 4e is doing is a personal insult to you and the game you love is just plain silly. [/QUOTE]
