[QUOTE="SolitonMan, post: 4784150, member: 22433"] Yeah, as a person who falls into that 35+ category, I had the same thought when I read Spinachcat's post. :) But it's true, learning gets tougher as we get older. I've dabbled with 4e but it hasn't caught my imagination. I started playing in a campaign with KotS, but after two sessions I was just not into it. I find that I personally don't care for the combat roles. While you can see that such roles have been part of the game for years, to me it just feels like something that had been addressed organically on a unique basis by each individual group is now something forced. But I'll be the first to admit that I haven't given 4e a REAL try. Dabbling is all I've done. Part of the reason is that the PHB was a snoozefest, and this tired old brain of mine (<-- per Spinachcat ;)) had much difficulty attempting to get through it while awake. Mostly though, I'm just not done with 3.5. There are options and classes and combos I've been wanting to try for years, and it's not likely I'll get anywhere near them anytime soon. The things that are problematic really don't bug me too much. I enjoy monkeying about with both PC and NPC stats, even if the end result is basically useless in play. I'm guessing I'll be ready to try 4e about the time 5e comes along. (Assuming I don't get into HERO System by then, in which case that may become my system of choice, if what I've read so far hold through in actual play...) Wait, what was I writing about?
