[QUOTE="justanobody, post: 4495908, member: 70778"] Is that because of 4th edition, yourself, or those you game with? If it is due to yourself, then you just got out of your rut to want to play again. If it is due to others, then those you were playing with maybe weren't the people you enjoy playing with. If it is 4th edition, then maybe the less material is what compels you to play again, and again when more comes out it will overwhelm you with stuff to where you do not wish to play with it all....which comes back to yourself and those you play with. If the previous amount of material for any edition was a problem you could easily try to NOT use every published book in a game. Some would also say that you may like 4th becuase it is so different than previous D&D meaning you might have just grown to not like D&D and the new system with the D&D name lets you still play D&D without having to use the old game, but the new one instead. I think with most things it will be the result of you got tired of playing and just wanted to try it again and the lesser content allows you to play quicker without overflowing with information, but as more content comes out you will end up in the same place as before. Of course, this goes for everyone including myself. I agree there is less currently in 4th edition core than anything else, but that was to simplify the core game. Each year there will be more to add to it, which could be a bane or boon to the system with new PHB DMG and MMs. Only time will tell. [/QUOTE]
