[QUOTE="Novem5er, post: 5086697, member: 57859"] Awesome post, tRR! I love hearing about other people's experiences with the game. So far, I'm loving that its an easy game to prep for, play, and clean up. I used to DREAD cleaning up after my 4e sessions. It'd be late, I'd be exhausted, and I'd have a table full of tiles, minis, dice, papers, pencils, books, etc... all needing to be stored in their proper place before my 2 year old daughter found and destroyed them the next morning. Our last MG game, I literally scooped up some d6s, put the char sheets in a folder, and put the 1 book on a shelf. 1 minute, max. The most surprising thing, however, is how easy it has been for people to get into character. Two of my players have yet to read any of the Mouse Guard comics, but they've been really excited to play and have been very much in character. I feel this is due to the Belief, Goal, Instinct written for each character. Still, I've been missing D&D again! There's just so many cool things that a D&D character can do (skills, powers, feats, rituals, etc). Don't get me wrong, the RP has been great in Mouse Guard and it was great in our Eberron campaign... but D&D definitely gives that tactical/technical fix that I still feel from time to time. I'm hoping to get a game together this weekend, and I think we'll stick with Mouse Guard since we've been having such a blast. 4e is really easy to run (compared to 3.5), but I've realized to run it WELL, it still takes a lot of prep. Once prepped, it's an easy game and my inexperienced wife ran a great combat the other month!! But I've had my players already suggesting that they might run Mouse Guard, but NOBODY really wants to run our D&D campaign, lol. [/QUOTE]
