[QUOTE="LcKedovan, post: 4257756, member: 1576"] Ok, so here is the breakdown of my gaming group. Primal (or anyone else), based on your reading do you think 4e would work for us (Personally I am more and more thinking it won't be the case but I haven't played or gotten the books yet so can't form an opinion). Me: Been playing since the days of Basic. DM. Adaptable. 3e favourite system, but still have a lot of love for the earlier editions for nostalgia and some system stuff (Loved the Companion ruleset and AD&D). Edit: Must add that I hate that certain things have been left out from the start like the races/classes being dropped.) My Brother: Pretty easygoing in terms of style of play. Likes some elements of realism/immersiveness. Playing almost as long as I have since I made him do it ;) One of my oldest friends: Playing since Basic days, very often we have arguments regarding realism. He is very much focused on believability within a fantasy context. Needs reasons why things work, not a big fan of 3 times per day kind of personal skills. My wife: _hates_ combat in 3e, too long and drawn out for her. More story loving, puzzle/problem solving. Newb player overall, not really a rulebook reader. 2 other friends: First one; HULK SMASH, the other will probably go with the flow. thoughts appreciated. -W. [/QUOTE]
