[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8953636, member: 6987520"] You're welcome. I don't take responses as personal (something I've had to work on, admittedly LOL!) because I prefer to think of them in the spirit of engaging discussion and not attacks. And I hope, despite my "argumentative" nature, that my responses are taken in kind. If more tools are included in D&D in the future, it is to the benefit of the game as it continues to address the wide range of play styles the game fosters. To me, D&D is like a tree... It began as a seed, a concept in some peoples' minds. Nurtured by the rain of imagination, it grew into OD&D, and branched into AD&D and B/X, which branched into BECMI, and so on. Every new mechanic and tool is a new branch, leaf, flower, or fruit.. This tree has had multiple people tending it over the years, from TSR to WotC and many more. 3PP adding their own touches, not to mention the plethora of homebrewers. Each part has its own beauty and value to different people, but I hope we all can appreciate it as a whole, too, and our sessions with each other are the precious time we take to enjoy its shade or shelter, depending on our own personal weather (are we happy or hurting in our lives). Finally, surrounding this tree is the RPG garden, a world of variety and wonder in which we can wander and share with others fantastical adventures. So, I encourage all to enjoy this magical place we have been fortunate enough to find and thank all those who have tended this garden, and make room for many more to join us as it continues to grow.
