[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7811270, member: 996"] Frequently. I have been wrong about a series of rather dramatic things when it comes to D&D editions. I'm quite used to it. Hopefully I'm not wrong about 5e continuing to do well and going 'evergreen.' But it'll be the first time I've been right with such a prediction, this millennium. I've been careful to call it a correlation. Yep. And all games get criticized. I have a very inconvenient compulsion to defend games I like when I feel they've been unduly criticized. I've defended virtually edition of D&D I've played, that way, from 1e (chatting outside the hobby shop), to 2e (even when I'd lost interest in it, I kept defending it on UseNet), to 3e on Gleemax, and 4e here, right through 5e. I have a rep as a 4venger because 4e was attacked /so much more than any/every edition/ put together and multiplied by the square of the velocity of light. (OK, not that last bit, but there sure was a lot of energy involved.) It was a phenom. I'm more disappointed than surprised that my idea was a lightning rod. But, I'm not going to never speak of 4e again and let it be [B][I]Damnatio memoriae. [/I][/B]No edition deserves that. [/QUOTE]
