Message: <blockquote data-quote="Obryn" data-source="post: 6072878" data-attributes="member: 11821">Two things.(1) 4e is my favorite edition of D&D, and I've played them all in my nearly-40 years.  I started with Moldvay Basic in the early 80's, got the Expert Set (with Isle of Dread), and then the C, M, and I box sets.  We mixed and matched it freely with AD&D, as did so many others of my generation <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.  We migrated to 2e when it came out, and it largely was a better fit for us at the time; did some Dark Sun, Forgotten Realms, and Ravenloft.  I went away from D&D for a while, playing all kinds of games (but especially Mythus and Earthdawn) until D&D 3e came out, and started a bunch of games in that.  Migrated to 3.5 when it was released, and ran a few variants like Arcana Unearthed/Evolved and a full-on Wilderlands campaign.  Then ... 4e.  (I should note if it matters that, along the way, I played/ran a ton of different games, from MERP to d6 Star Wars to Mythus, Earthdawn, Paranoia, Call of Cthulhu, GURPS, Marvel FASERIP, Mage, DC Heroes, WFRP 2e, Star Wars Saga, FATE, the list goes on and on...)  So what I'm saying is, I know what I personally want from D&D, and have a host of other games I keep in my back pocket for stuff that would be better suited to another system.  4e provides that D&D experience I'm looking for really, really well.  It's beautiful from the DM side, my players enjoy their side, and this Dark Sun game I'm running now is among the best campaigns I've run.  (And I'll pull out 1e/OSRIC for the stuff 4e doesn't handle well, like when I want to run Temple of Elemental Evil.)  So yep, it's a good game, and saying that it's not D&D is, putting it mildly, rank nonsense. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />(2) I predict this thread will end in flames.-O</blockquote>
