[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 5780639, member: 2067"] Well, they haven't really tried just publishing an edition vaguely compatible with those rules since about the 1970's, either. I'm not nearly so cynical about what people might be interested in a new edition, honestly. Actually, you said: And also: ...the word "most" doesn't appear there. A stripped down D&D isn't impoverished, hollow, or unworkable to everyone, so allowing for anyone to play a stripped down D&D, if they want, is absolutely a method that is going to win them some significant section of the audience who really thinks that a stripped down D&D is exactly what they need. You take for granted the idea that a minimal D&D is an objective failure from the very concept of it. I don't see any evidence that this idea meshes up with reality. I don't follow you. If there is literally only one class and one race in the entire game (an exaggeration for effect, yes), that should work REALLY well for you, since there is only one thing that your prospective players can play, and only one thing that you need to learn about. I mean, the exaggerated idea I presented isn't actually viable for a few other reasons, but "because there's so many options I won't be able to keep up" isn't one of 'em. ;) [/QUOTE]
