[QUOTE="Sylrae, post: 4280428, member: 48520"] What if the "yeah, but" is followed by "not as much as 3.5 (which is more detail oriented), OR White Wolf (which is more story oriented)" To me it seems to play more like Dragon Strike (a board game D&D imitation with simpler rules). It's D&D-Like, and it's great for 1 shot sessions. But for something longer, the mechanics are not what I would look for in a less mechanics based game about rich storytelling without an emphasis on combat (White Wolf); OR what I would want from D&D, which would be story oriented but have more combat. It plays more like a board game, and less like a D&D campaign or a white wolf campaign (that's not just WoD, but also the Trinity series of White Wolf games.) from the session I played, and what I read in here, it seems like it will be a better Idea to incorporate some of the ideas I like from 4e into my 3.5e games, rather than trying to "Fix" 4e itself. I think for now instead of getting the 4e books im just gonna get all the 3.5e books i wanted but never had the cash to buy, hopefully before theyre hard to find. then maybe ill start buying the nWoD books. I may change my mind about 4e if they put out further supplements that are good enough, or I may change my mind if 4e fials and they release a 4.5e thats drastically different. only time will tell, but for the present, 4e is not something I'm really motivated to blow 110$ on.I'm [/QUOTE]
