[QUOTE="SSquirrel, post: 1811591, member: 5202"] Now there's penty of folk out there happy with the current edition as it is and they have all the books they would ever want and stop buying. People have done that for ages, just look at Diaglo, he still stands by OD&D. Yes no gaming police willshow up to confiscate your books, but there's always something new that can come from the industry and I (and presumably many others) are eager to see what will come next. I want to see more youths play simply b/c I feel fantasy gaming is a worthwhile activity and I want others to be able to experience the joy I did growing up with D&D and other games. There are always some books specifically for beginners, but they hardly fil up a massive chunk of the gaming spectrum. You'll continue to see a few of them and that will be pretty much it. My current gaming group I met thru meetup.com. None of them (besides my gf and myself) had played 3 or 3.5 before and one girl had never played any RPG period. We all jumped into 3.5 (small upgrade for the 2 of us as we'd been playing 3.0 since it was released) and everyone is doing great. The girl who had never played an RPG before had played old school Might and Magic comp games and such and enjoyed fantasy and she's become a pretty good RPer. In her late 20s or so. I want to see more of this in all age groups myself. Rarely does it affect us personally, but when it does its nice to see. Hagen [/QUOTE]
