DDN is a giant muddle of "be everything to everyone", and the question is will anyone end up with something they prefer? No doubt SOMEONE will, but is this exercise really worth doing? Might for instance WotC be better off to just sell reprints of 1e stuff and 2e stuff, etc and maybe even potentially put out some revisions/supplements of the most popular stuff? Why for instance end support forever for games like 3e and 4e which clearly have active fan bases and try to insist that they have to play some variation of DDN that is a compromise solution they still have to figure out how to customize to their preferences, a job they are ill-equipped for?No argument from me on that. OTOH if you give someone DDN that is supposed to 'play however you want' then aren't you pretty much saying to them "hey, you're going to have to reflect on what you like and how you play before this is likely to work for you". Isn't it better if they give me 4e and you 1e, and some other people 3.5e? Clearly its easy enough for them to reprint all these things, so what gives? I'm lost on the need for another edition of D&D, unless they want to try something completely new.</blockquote>
