[QUOTE="DMZ2112, post: 6114068, member: 78752"] FASA had some wizards working for them, that's for sure. Earthdawn and Shadowrun are both works of art of a sort. This is really the core of the D&D5 problem -- the world doesn't need it. That's a topic for another thread, though. For my part, I have much the same opinion as you, but my approach to satisfying them is that D&D ought to either be D&D or vanish. I felt this way six months after D&D4 launched (sorry), and I still feel this way now. Metagame and narrative license might make a great RPG, but it doesn't make a great D&D. If I want a different play experience I'll play a different game. /I/ don't, for the most part. But D&D isn't about me, it's about reaching, attracting, and keeping as many players as possible, whether they've been playing for 40 years or five. If I am critiquing an optional rule, it's because I don't think its inclusion serves that goal., optional or not. [/QUOTE]
