[QUOTE="Ruined, post: 4194011, member: 113"] I'm really eager to tackle 4e, and have run a few test sessions. It looks like it will be a good match for the games we enjoy. This hasn't caused me to loathe 3.x though. Yes, I've houseruled a sizeable chunk of the rules, but it's still recognizeable as 3.x D&D. And I really have daydreamed about converting my two existing games (Rise of Runelords, Age of Worms) into 4e to make them easier/more fun. But I probably won't, as conversion looks to be a bear, and I've personally had horrible results switching systems in the midst of a campaign. But I just ran a session of 3.5 last night, and it was a blast. I know I'm fortunate because I have great players, but I don't begrudge the system we use. It has its shortcomings, as I'm sure 4e will reveal over time. That doesn't mean I'm looking to torch my books at the first opportunity for change. I dropped 2nd ed for other systems like WFRP back in the day; if 3.5 was that horrible, I would have already made a switch. [/QUOTE]
