And if they're enjoying themselves, more power to 'em.

I really don't think that UA is an intrinsically 'better' game than D&D,
Vampire, Champions or 90% of the rest of the RPG market. It's better than
some games, by dint of its strong writing and flexible themes, but the only
real point of an RPG is to have fun with it. And by that light, D&D is a
damn good game.
