Speedy new editions of games are not necessarily bad things. Take, for example, some of White Wolf's offerings:Vampire 1st edition: 1991Vampire Second Edition: 1992Vampire Revised Edition: 1998Time of Judgement (end of the line): 20033 editions in 12 yearsWerewolf 1st edition: 1992Werewolf Second Edition: 1994Werewolf Revised Edition: 2000ToJ: 20033 editions in 11 yearsMage 1st edition: 1993Mage Second Edition: 1995Mage Revised Edition (/spit): 2000ToJ: 20033 editions in 10 yearsExalted 1st edition: 2001Exalted Second Edition: 2006Currently active2 editions in 6 years (and counting)New editions in each line are, for the most part, backwards compatible. If I were running a Vampire Revised game, I could use 1e Vampire stuff with only a little tweaking. Each edition brought with it some rules and setting tweaks and were generally better than what came before (a notable excepting being the MRev fluff). So long as backward compatibility is maintained, periodic rules revisions are not bad things.</blockquote>
