[QUOTE="TheAuldGrump, post: 5663679, member: 6957"] I heard remarkably similar complaints for: AD&D 2e AD&D Runequest Call of Cthulhu So, umm, yeah... it [i]does[/i] happen in other games with consumable character resources. Spells, spell points, it does not matter. 3e just has enough players that the grumbling becomes more noticeable. For the nonce, I never noticed it when either playing or running those games any more than I have for 3e, except for that one game. Maybe it is symptomatic of the same folks who prod the floor with a 10' pole every time they move? Who expect monsters to wait quietly until the PCs reach them? Again, being overly cautious is likely to cause problems even as being overly incautious. If the players come to expect a dynamic, as opposed to static, world then they are likely to feel time pressure, even if there is none. For me this is worth doing in its own right - there is no reason [i]not[/i] to do it with 4e, it can make for a more enjoyable game. Having monsters just sitting around playing pinochle until the PCs show up does not sound like much fun to me, regardless of system. The Auld Grump [/QUOTE]
