[QUOTE="R_Chance, post: 8049241, member: 55149"] Actually I go back a lot farther than 2E. I remember someone talking 2E but it wasn't me. I've frankensteined mine together from older editions (1E) and my own ideas as well as articles from Dragon Magazine back in the day. I'm really, really old :D I see your point about newer players needing newer ideas. My point is that if their is a 6E (and that's what we're talking about if I remember the start of this thing) it should not be limited to what 5E did, or did not do, well or focused on. I think alignment (done well) could make a contribution for all the new players who will come (hopefully) with the next edition. Then those 4E and 5E veterans can complain about these new kids and their old/new fangled ideas taking up pages :) Hey! I started with just 3 alignments in the ancient times of the mid 70s. That's why my Lawful Church ended up with every lawful alignment bundled on board :D And, as I've said the limited (to be polite) treatment of alignment and the neglect of the system is the problem with it. Maybe the next edition will do it justice. Or eliminate it. We just have to wait and see how it goes. [/QUOTE]
