Wisdom Penalty
First Post
Seems to me (despite my poor Spot check) that there's a significant number of folks who entered this weekend anti-4E (or, at a minimum, very cautious about it)...and yet are coming out the other side as believers (or, at a minimum, encouraged with what they've seen).
I'd like to hear some perspectives from those folks who (a) didn't like 4E and - as a result of what they've seen or read about DDXP - (b) now do like 4E.
What changed your mind? What allayed your fears? What was better in practice than in theory? What have you learned that you didn't know before?
While I haven't read anything in the opposite vein, I'm fairly confident there are some folks that went the opposite way (liked 4E -> DDXP -> don't like 4E). Same questions for you, if you're out there.
Sure, sure - you'll have your holdouts and your folks that won't give up their 3E d20s (or 1E d20s, or C&C d20s, etc.) until you pry them out of their cold, dead hands. But I'm not interested in their opinions. To each their own.
I haven't spent as much time reviewing the "what" of DDXP as I have reviewing some of the mood changes from posters on this very site that, while I disagreed with their outlooks, always respected their opinions. Seeing those opinions change from negative to positive is very encouraging for a guy who's never seen/played 4E but would like to take his campaign in that direction when the times comes.
W.P.
