BUT I HANDLE CHANGE JUST FINE AND ENJOY CHANGING THINGS UP FROM GAME TO GAME AND CAMPAIGN TO CAMPAIGN.  EVERY CAMPAIGN I START HAS SPECIFIC HOUSE RULES ATTRIBUTED TO IT TO HELP FIT THE SETTING AND STORY WE ARE GOING TO BE PLAYING.Because WOTC/Hasbro is mean to staff / mean to customers:I CARE ABOUT PRODUCTS AND DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE COMPANIES / PEOPLE WHO PRODUCE SAID PRODUCTS.  I'M VERY MUCH A 'LOVE THE ART, NOT THE ARTIST' KIND OF PERSON, SO WHAT WOTC/HASBRO DOES IS NOT A CONCERN FOR ME AT ALL.Because D&D isn't as good as _________.:DEPENDING ON WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR IN A GAME AT A PARTICULAR MOMENT IN TIME, THIS WILL CERTAINLY BE TRUE.  BUT THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN THE CASE.  WHEN I WANT TO PLAY A PARTICULAR STYLE, GENRE OR GAME I'LL PLAY IT-- WHETHER IT'S D&D OR SOMETHING ELSE.  CHOOSE THE BEST GAME FOR THE NEEDS AT HAND.  THE PRODUCTION OF 5E24 HAS NOT CHANGED THAT FACT.Because $50 books are a burden on my disposable income:NOT TRUE.  BECAUSE I WAS TELLING PEOPLE HERE ON THE BOARDS LIKE 2 YEARS AGO WHEN ONED&D WAS FIRST ANNOUNCED THAT WE WERE 24 OR MORE MONTHS OUT FROM THE BOOKS BEING RELEASED... AND THAT IF ANYONE THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO WANT TO BUY THEM BUT WERE AFRAID OF THE COST... THAT ALL THEY HAD TO DO RIGHT THERE AND THEN WAS TO START SAVING ABOUT LIKE $7 A MONTH FOR THE NEXT 24 MONTHS AND THEY'D BE ABLE TO BUY THE BOOKS.  DON'T GO TO STARBUCKS ONE TIME EACH MONTH AND THEY'D BE FINE AND HAVE THE CASH SAVED TO GET 5E24 WHEN THEY WERE RELEASED.  SO I DO NOT FIND THE "IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE" TO BE AN ARGUMENT WORTH MUCH SALT.</blockquote>
