If fans choose to infer statements about inferiority into what I type, that's really not my problem.I'm 26, but I've been playing D&D a long time, too. And when I see something ebing called D&D that seems to me to be more of a usurper of the crown (at least 2e kept the similiarities), I refuse to bend my knee to it. If you feel my protest is petty, fine; all the more reason it should not offend you.D&D has become a brand and not a system, under WOTC. You may disagree with me, but my d20 Modern and 3.5 Rulebooks bear so much similiarity to each other as to be...compatible. Kind of like all non-d20 Fantasy versions. which means...the system is largely the same. The Dungeons and Dragons 'engine', if you will, is defunct. (Well it lives on, but under a different name). The D&D brand is very much alive, however. The d20 'engine' is alive and kickin'. It's pretty good for Sci-Fi, too, though I don't like it's treatment of fantasy.Does this mean you're less of a gamer than me? Uh, only if YOU think so. I don't like that fantasy system White Wolf just released (the name escapes me at the moment), that doesn't mean I spit on kids playing it or that I won't sit down for a game. However, is said game started calling itself, say, 'Gamma World', I would refuse to call it that.The only offense is the one you infer. I'll explain myself, but I won't retract or apologize. I don't believe I'm wrong, and maybe you guys should not read so much into an opinion without asking what is meant first.I'm innocent. mln</blockquote>
