No need for a new system, anytime...Hey hey Tenkar! No need for a new system, anytime I see something new trotted out I get cynical about another run at my cash. While I respect much of Monte Cook's work, one system to please them all is impossible. Make a game that is fun to play and leave it the hell alone for a decade or two.Padrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05722958681098483324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-19499783392228368312012-02-01T15:00:21.172-05:002012-02-01T15:00:21.172-05:00I honestly won't knock people for playing 5e (...I honestly won't knock people for playing 5e (the same way I don't knock peeps for 4e.. I don't enjoy it and have no interest in playing it, but that's just me. You play what makes you happy). <br><br>I think part of the problem here is (and I'll admit this grates me a lil) that WotC wants to be THE system. All the interviews I've read are always expounding how the importance of DnD, how awesome DnD is, and that TSR and WotC have always lead the way... Is there truth in that, absolutely? However there are now TONS of publishers that put out quality products (I know you're wanting to publicize your stuff but don't act like there aren't others out there). <br><br>There doesn't NEED to be the one system. I play several different systems depending on the game I want to play. If it's Sci-fi, betcher ass it is Traveller. If it is pulp or I need a quick generic system it is Savage Worlds. Brutal quick and old school 1e or Castles and Crusades. If I want more crunchy I have Pathfinder. <br><br>There is one other factor that I think is important as well that would be lost if people settled for the "one system to rule them all" and that's knowledge. I've learned quite a bit from reading various system rule books. This year I've read a ton and I've picked up some cool tricks or a different way to look at something. I doubt that WotC could offer all that in 5e, but I may be totally off base on that as well.wrathofzombiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04882740795203687573noreply@blogger.com
