So, I've been thinking about 3E and 4E. I was really excited about 4E leading up to its release; I'd been playing mostly Savage Worlds, kind of taking a break from 3.5 for a while. However, when 4E came out it just...didn't really grab me. I won't speculate here on why.
What 4E did do was remind me of all the things I love about 3.X. I am extremely familiar with the mechanics of 3.X, able to build almost any character concept I want, even without access to books. I can DM it completely off the top of my head, and my players all enjoy the system and the games I run.
Basically, 4E drove me back to the 3E fold. I haven't played Savage Worlds since 4E was released, although I still like that system. I am engaged in several new 3.5 games, and they're all going really well. Did anyone else have a similar experience?
