[QUOTE="Nahat Anoj, post: 3774135, member: 25075"] For me, the actual act of playing isn't the sole primary award. Indeed, the act of sitting around a table for 4 to 8 hours with the same group of people is very boring for me. :) Well, 4 hours I can handle, I guess. But that's pushing it :) . Seeing the story unfold and getting a vicarious thrill as the character grows and develops is the main draw for me. And it's possible that 4e will speed up actual play - for example, fights will go quicker. If that's the case, you may be able to fill a 4 hour session with more encounters in 4e than with 3e. If that's the case, the characters are levelling up because they face more challenges per session. So the number of encounters required to level may be the same as or more than 3e, but, because the game plays more quickly, more stuff gets done. [/QUOTE]
