[QUOTE="Kzach, post: 5118667, member: 56189"] When you begin a post with, "...staunch AD&D/OD&D guy..." you're immediately setting yourself up as opposed to 4e and somewhat closed-minded. So my first recommendation would be to try and be a bit more open-minded about the system you're going to DM. If you're immediately opposed to even the concept of it, then how do you expect to run it objectively? From experience, people who I've gamed with who were reticent about trying 4e have universally ended up hating it. Those games were never fun for anyone, player or DM. If you're adamant that you don't like 4e, there's nothing wrong with that, everyone has their preferences and that's their prerogative, but that's going to come through in your game whether you try to conceal it or not. So if you're not going to try and embrace the system and give it an objective go, I'd recommend not running it at all. [color=red]Admin here, and no he's not -- he accurately describes his experience, not any prejudices. You're taking a completely neutral thread and turning it edition-riffic. Don't do that. ~ PCat[/color] [/QUOTE]
