[QUOTE="Consonant Dude, post: 6020525, member: 6688791"] Yeah, I'm not surprised. They did promise they would go back and try to distill the best parts of older editions in the process of creating a new one. Of course "best parts" what exactly constitute the best parts can be highly subjective. What I find interesting is that, to me, both playtest documents seem to highlight different aspects of older DnD editions. For instance, the second playtest document brings back a little of the grid feel of newer editions. This is something I personally lament, while I recognize it probably appeals to others. Eventually, I suppose the challenge will switch to presenting these features of older editions in ways that are more appealing to a fanbase that wasn't always receptive or to make it easy for the fanbase to ignore such aspects while not feeling like they have to heavily houserule the game.
