Just so we were clear! I spent a LOT of hours playing tabletop role-playing games, having worked at a company that made said games. I have alpha test credit in one. I have writer's credit in some. And for a variety of reasons, I never cared much for the early versions of D&D. I understand the new versions are much better, but I don't like the idea of having to spend the amount of money that they want for multiple source books to play the game effectively and then rules lawyer this and that point for an evening. It ruins the story-telling and the fun.
Much easier having a single rulebook that covers the basics well and gives the game master flexibility in telling the story they want to tell, along with players who are willing to go with the flow.
