[QUOTE="Kalex the Omen, post: 7693165, member: 5086"] I think this is a very important point for everyone to understand Frank. Thanks for posting it! Different games are just different toolboxes. You use the one that works best for the job you want to get done. My games are exploration heavy. Combat, though important, isn't the main objective. I find that First Edition AD&D is the toolbox I need to run the game that I want to run. If I want a game focused on very detailed, precise combat I might use 3e/3.5 or 4e. AD&D, OD&D, B/X or BECMI wouldn't do for that type of game. I think it would be great if everyone could keep these truths in mind when discussing editions. From a purely emotional standpoint everyone is going to think the edition they play is the best, but if you step back and try to be objective you will see that every edition does something well and other things not-so-well. Choose your tools based on needs, not emotion or because it is bright and shiny new. [/QUOTE]
