[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 7449591, member: 85555"] The present form of D&D is essentially pathfinder and 5E. AD&D is played in the OSR but the OSR isn’t dominating the market. For me it isn’t about underdogs or any of that. My feeling is what matters is people finding games that resonate with them and work for them in practice. I wouldn’t say for me it is about going backwards. I think innovation is great. It is about realizing sometimes we throw out the baby with the bath water and occasionally returning to the earlier games yields insight as a result. But I don’t play 2E all the time. I tend to play more recent games that are open minded about the past. Again, these are just game. At the end of the day it is about having fun. I was very struck how a return to earlier editions helped enhance my fun at the table. I think it is worth sharing. And it isn’t just D&D. There are benefits to exploring many other older games. I quite like the old HARN material for examples. Plenty of folk are exploring old traveler and other games. Many continue to play new games, sometimes bringing in charts, approaches to adjudication or mechanics they like from the old. [/QUOTE]
