[QUOTE="Dagredhel, post: 4587014, member: 3421"] How would I [I]know[/I] that I don't like 4e if I weren't familiar with it? Duh! In all seriousness, I don't really "hate" it, exactly. But it does seem like you have to be either a "hater" or a fanboy, since so many people don't seem comfortable to admit any middleground. I was nonplussed by the first few WOTC releases. (Lets blame it on a bad upbringing, poor genetics, limited intelligence, boorish taste and questionable grooming habits and leave it at that, shall we?:D) After my initial disappointment, I *don't* in all honesty have much real ongoing interest in 4e. 4e is mostly an annoyance to me, since it sometimes intrudes on my lamentable fixation on it's outmoded, out-of-date, passé, antiquated, archaic, and obsolete forerunners. It's terribly perverse, I admit. But regardless, I admit to a morbid curiousity about what a talented author and game designer would do with it. I was actually pretty amazed by how much I liked the [B]Advanced Player's Guide[/B], to tell you the truth. It's just that good. It won't get me to switch editions... I'm afraid my pathological aversion is almost certainly chronic... But it is a book that even I can read and reread with some enjoyment, and maybe even mine for ideas that I could apply to those more limited and plainly wrongminded systems and editions that I can better understand and appreciate with what limited intellect I seem to possess.:angel: It's a good book.
