This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: CabDoes anyone else see the irony in this, that exactly the same complaints were made when 3rd ed was released?

How is it irony? It's more the case of "the more things change, the more they stay the same." Out with the old, and in with the new, until the time comes that the old, to you, has superior qualities to the new. Then you are bitching like the last generation.

So, in other words "this is where I get off the bus."

I totally agree. Some want to stop off at the park, the others are waiting till they get to the zoo, and the new kids are still a good borrough away from the virtual reality dome. Either way we just want our own kind of fun.
Running: Dogs of WAR - Beer & Pretzels & Bullets
Planning to Run: Godbound or Stars Without Number
Playing: Star Wars D20 Rev.

A lack of moderation doesn\'t mean saying every asshole thing that pops into your head.

D&D 3.X is rapidly becoming "FM 103.3, classic hits from the 90s", just up the dial from "FM 101.7, classic rock from the 60s and 70s".  Looks like they changed focus groups on you.

Quote from: KoltarYes but "YOU" are not the new players that they are looking for. You. me, and possibly the rest on here would be "old players".
What are you worried about?  It's your job to sell new product, and this is new product.  You should be clutching your mitts in barely-suppressed avarice.
