[QUOTE="Guest User, post: 8136122"] Hit Points, Dice, "Leveling" up from "Green to Blooded to Veteran to Elite" had been around in war gaming culture well, well before Gary and Dave. So Snarf Zagyg you seem to be ignoring the contributions of those that came before D&D.....You also are being a bit of an naughty word. (We don't need to discuss that further, like I stated before this topic brings out emotional responses) The concepts that you have ascribed as what makes D&D what it is, have been promulgated more by computer games in popular culture at large then D&D. This is not saying, that D&D is irrelevant, or that Gary is irrelevant....but you lived through the games past. Others haven't...and taking a somewhat hostile tone to those that have not lived your life...is not going to encourage them to Learn history. As this presentation by Rodney Thompson and Mike Mearls indicates...5e D&D was designed specifically so that inputs from all of the games past were represented...not just what Gary G wrote.
