[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 5041979, member: 7635"] Each edition gets its own special variant of NerdRage(TM). OD&Ders argue over supplements vs. non-supplement, how later rules only served to bloat the system, and/or about the inherent superiority of the original vs. "poor imitations of the Real Thing". BD&Ders debate whether the Original Holmes/Cook boxsets were better (in design and play style) to the later BECMI/Metzner sets, as well as proving their game wasn't a "kiddie-version" of the Real Game. AD&D1er's argue 1e is Gary's True Vision and everything else (sometimes including Unearthed Arcana) ruined it while simultaneously griping about rule X, Y, and Z and how they ignored/house-ruled it. AD&D2er's fight an endless war for acceptance; viewed as the bastard step-child by older players (who scoff at it as a dilution of Gary's Vision by She-who-must-not-be-named) and by newer players (who believe its system shows off the antiquity of a ruleset designed during the era of 8-tracks and disco with little attempt to majorly overhaul it.) D&D3er's debate the necessity of the 3.5 revision, the legitimate successor to the game (4e, Pathfinder, or some other d20 variant) and still fight the Old-school/New-school wars to prove flipping the AC upwards didn't dumb down the game. D&D4er's are in a fight for life trying to convince everyone else that "Itz zeh same game!" and that the changes done to the system were necessary and worthwhile. Everyone's got a fight inside the community, and against the other editions. Right now 4e's got the hold-spot sinces its new kid, but you'll find people willing to argue with you for/against any edition if you look hard enough. [/QUOTE]
