Message: <blockquote data-quote="pukunui" data-source="post: 4188750" data-attributes="member: 54629">I just want to elaborate on this point a bit. By the time 4e was announced, I had only been playing 3.5 for just over a year and in that span of time I had already compiled a long list of the houserules and variants (mostly from Unearthed Arcana) that I felt were necessary to make the game merely palatable let alone fun. When 4e was announced, my initial reaction was "Oh man! But I've only just bought into 3.5!" but after a few months had gone by and I saw the direction WotC was going in with the new edition, I got more and more excited. Not only was 4e looking more like the D&D I remembered from my teenage 2e days, but it was also incorporating into the core many of the houserules I had put in place for my 3.5 game. I can totally understand why some people don't like 4e. I can totally understand why some people regard 3.5 as the ultimate D&D experience. I can even understand why some people simply don't want to buy into 4e because they've already spent a lot of money on 3.5. I've read all the arguments from the people who say 4e isn't for them and they're all perfectly justified. However, in my case, I feel like 4e was written specifically for me. I am that much in the center of WotC's target market that it would be very silly of me indeed not to buy into the new edition. Yes, there are a few things I don't like, but nothing's perfect. 4e is much more the kind of D&D I want to play than 3.5 could ever be.</blockquote>
