[QUOTE="Clavis, post: 4240881, member: 31898"] I certainly [I]hope[/I] it succeeds. And this is coming from someone who is currently playing C&C, dislikes what I've seen so far of 4th Edition, and has no intention of ever playing 4th Edition. I hope 4th Edition succeeds because D&D is synonymous with tabletop RPGs in the mind of the public. To the average person, playing a TRPG [I]is[/I] "playing D&D". If the new D&D fails, it means the hobby can no longer attract new players, which is good for none of us. It's D&D that introduces most people to role-playing. Most other RPGs depend upon the population of people who try D&D, and decide they want something else out of a game. Without a viable D&D, the future of the whole industry is in trouble. Even if you are a die-hard grognard, you should want 4th Edition to succeed, because it will stimulate curiosity about the older versions of the game. So while I don't personally like how WOTC designs games, I wish them great success. [/QUOTE]
