[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4519239, member: 710"] This is all just speculation, so let me say: No, I don't think so. ;) There are too many things that people seem to want that I simply don't want to want. For example, Raven Crowking is perfectly able of telling me how he wants to play D&D, and what he prefers. I think I generally understand his goals and interests. But I don't share them. The direction he would take a new edition is not the direction I would want to go. Then I read pemertons post and think "well, I might not entirely share all his priorities, but I like where he's going." And he seems to like the 4E enough to consider running/playing it, when he used to play Rolemaster instead of D&D 3.x. (Sorry pemerton and RC if I pick you as examples, but we've batted heads in so many threads by now...) I myself was already in the process of being no longer part of the 3.x audience - I DMed Iron Heroes and would have loved (preferred?) to play it, too. (Despite all its flaws!) Anyway, RC and I have been part of the "broader existing audience" of 3.x. Where was 4E supposed to go if it wanted to keep us both? How would it have added pemerton? [/QUOTE]
