[QUOTE="innerdude, post: 6123073, member: 85870"] Can't XP, Stormonu, but I am absolutely catching the cut of your jib. I'm in my mid-30s now, with a wife and kids. The last thing I want to have to do to play an RPG is spend 4 to 6 hours a week going over player options, and splatbooks, and poring over stat blocks. For me, I think I still need more structure than full-fledged freeform. I enjoy getting Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie involved in all kinds of hijinks with my four-year-old daughter, but I want a bit more . . . gravitas, for lack of a better word, in my roleplaying. It doesn't have to be [I]Shawshank Redemption[/I]. I think I'd just like a bit more structure than freeform offers. Luckily there's rules systems out there that do what I need them to that move away from the "heaviness" of D&D into new territory. D&D can still be great fun, and offers a unique kind of RPG experience that only it can truly emulate. But I'm fortunate now that if I want to play "D&D," I can choose to play D&D. If I want to have a great RPG experience that isn't D&D, I'm more than covered. [/QUOTE]
