However, I disagree that D&D cannot be all of these things.Realistically, of course, age does play a major part here. What might be foreign to your perception of D&D (call it anime or wuxia or whatever) does, indeed, tend to be more popular among younger gamers, and it's inevitable that a new edition of the game would attempt to capture that segment of the audience. It is very likely that, an edition or two down the line, I will have to come to terms with my idea of D&D being pushed aside in order to cater to what I see as "juvenile." (In fact, I rather hope that the game we love survives that long and continues to evolve.) Will I adapt and play the way the kids are playing? Maybe, but probably not.The point is, right now, you're playing your game and I'm playing mine, but they're both D&D, and I just don't see 4e coming along and wrecking that. I don't think that one of us has to be disappointed when that shiny new book appears next summer, but, if you are, I apologize in advance for my generation urinating on your hobby. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> (Actually, the decision to use an anime avatar on these boards was a conscious one, and you have just proven to me that it sends exactly the message I had guessed it would. Also, for the record, there's no leaping from Sri Lanka to Delhi in any of my games. ^_^)</blockquote>
