[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8895625, member: 29398"] To the tune of Pink Floyd's "High Hopes", this was originally written in 2009 as a response to 4e and the accompanying edition wars. Given recent developments it seems like a good time to dust it off. [I]Beyond the horizons of the game we played when we were young Lay a world of money and malcontents Their thoughts strayed down the page and found the bottom line The roll call of the edition list was begun Before our pastime was turned into an industry We took the game and made it ours There were a ragged few who followed in our footsteps Who knew the better change was none at all We've watched the new developments so hopeful but none any good The greater game divided round us falls The nights were endless The tales were glory With friends surrounded The game was wonder Looking round the game store at the new things trying to tempt us Not a glimpse of the magic found in the early days While victims of edition wars lie strewn across the battleground Many come but rare is the one who stays With a better attitude we made our choice Few and far away though for so long a silent voice Encumbered forever by desire and ambition Theirs a greed that can't be satisfied Our tearful eyes turn back toward the table There'll always be a game here true and tried Where nights are endless Where tales are glory With friends surrounded The game is wonder The taste of magic The rain is falling Adventures calling The sound of laughter Forever and after[/I] [/QUOTE]
