[QUOTE="darjr, post: 5430051, member: 52905"] I like 4e, I even like the ideas that went into essentials. I didn't buy any of of the essentials books. I'm not sure why, though now I wouldn't buy any cause I'm no longer going to play 4e. I did suffer from a strong sense of buyers remorse over having DDI [I]and[/I] purchasing the earlier books that had heavy crunch in them. That whole time I was still playing 3.5, and then Pathfinder. I think Pathfinder and some other games will get a big boost in play time. I can't really explain how I felt when I decided to not play or run 4e anymore. It's like the day I realized I wouldn't have Football practice anymore. I love playing Football, but practice is mostly a chore. Now I play Football for recreation only. The last day I enjoyed running 4e I was at a convention, I ran a game and had fun, then I ran a Traveller game wherein the players ended up drifting through space using their own bodies as scaffolding while protecting precious cargo and acting very much like a slow moving gun platform to outsmart and outfight ship raiders. Then I ran another session of 4e and was bored out of my freaking mind. I can't tell you what happened in any of those 4e games in any great detail, I barely remember them, but the Metamorphosis Alpha 1e and Traveller and Fantasy Trip and GURPS games I remember like they just happened.
