[QUOTE="ShinHakkaider, post: 5453658, member: 9213"] And your response to that particular opinion is just as narrow minded, if not more so. It's just as easy to say "well that's his opinion and I disagree" than to label anyone who disagrees with you to be a narrow minded and inflexible. You're calling into question a person's basic character based on their opinion on what "is" or "isnt" D&D? What kind of human being are YOU? I think is the real question here. I've actually ran and played 4E and NO it doesn't feel like any other edition of D&D that I've played since Red Box basic. Your next step in is to get me to quantify what it "feels like" in order to prove myself and many others wrong. Because we're all a hive mind, see? We all solely listen to each other and our own experiences and feelings don't matter because we didn't jump on the 4E bandwagon. I know what it "feels" like and it feels like I'm playing a glorified miniature skirmish game. Which is not a bad thing. I LIKE miniature skirmish games, but not as my main fantasy RPG. I like and own the Castle Ravenloft Board game. I like it as a board game. I play it with my son. As a board game 4E is amazing as an RPG it's not what I want and doesnt feel like anything before it.
