[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 7653599, member: 58416"] I don't think it's as simple as light/heavy though. I tried to say that in a different thread elsewhere, but the wording I chose was poor. I think intuitiveness of rules and how a game world works helps as well. For example, I view D&D 4E as being relatively light compared to other games I play, but it took me a while to understand how to GM the game because the way the 4E game world works wasn't intuitive when compared to how I felt things should work out given a situation. I also think making the game interesting helps; while I thus far find 5th Edition ok, I don't think I see myself heavily investing into it. At this point; in spite of the fact that I sometimes enjoy Encounters, I'm doubting I'll purchase the system. I do still plan to try the game once the full version is available, but it hasn't yet grabbed my attention. With that in mind, I'm wondering what the brand as a whole will offer to make me feel differently about the rest of the brand. I don't feel negative about the brand; the 'problem' is that I don't feel much of anything beyond that the ideals I have about games and entertainment is much different than the ideas the design team behind the brand has.
