I guess it is time for some of my observations since it is always in my face. There will be those old timer DMs and players say that a true DM develops his own system that works. Actually, this is true. A good DM can make his own game. BUT - there is trouble in paradise. As time goes on, there is turnover in gaming. Folks quit. They get married. They get busy jobs. New people come in. But, all they know is what is currently out there. they may have had futive attempts with bad DMs. Thier patience is low. After all, World of warcraft as inferior as it is to true PnP gaming is right there. They do not want to cope with some guyd new system, they want classic whatever edition is favored. Older gamers want to relive the glory of past games that they lucked up to get into with old friends. Maybe they have a huge investment in books for that edition as well. But as editions go on, new "blood" is hard to come by. Now unlike 4e, which has some good things but developed in secrecy, let's give hope a chance. Give feedback. take what works and houserule the rest! It is what us nerds do best! it is also what all of us, even 4e/3e/2e folks will do.</blockquote>
