But that being said it wont be the one true edition for me unless they dont add a shred more complexity then exists right now. When they said "modular" I had hope. What I want is a game to replace my other multiple games. By that I meanI play WoD when i want gritty, story driven games with simple mechanics, I play spycraft when I want modern action gamesI play dark heresy when i want sci-fi. I play true 20 when i want, well pretty much any kind of fantasy. And I play pathfinder when I cant convince new players who want fantasy to give true 20 a shot. This is a problem. My current, core group is really open to changing genres and story types which is cool. But most arent hard core gamers who know lots of different systems. So whenever I want to change I either need to teach people a brand new system or find a new game with people who know that system. What I would love from "modular" D&D is the ability to play any of these styles with the same basic, core rules. Similar to 3e and D20 modern before, but obviously better done. That way I'm not teaching a new game, I'm saying "we're playing D&D with the gritty horror module, or D&D with the space adventure module". And at the moment it doesnt look like thats the plan at all. So even though I feel pretty positive about what I've seen as a game I simply dont need it. I already have 2 fantasy games that fill that niche. One simple and one complex. So why would i need to drop a couple hundred bucks on new books? And thats why it wont be able to unite ME as part of their base. I suspect i'm not the only one who was hoping for that sort of modularity.</blockquote>
