[QUOTE="SteveC, post: 5799341, member: 9053"] I think you completely misunderstand the kind of game I'd like to play and have thrown it more than a little hyperbole. The thing is, the issues 4E was designed to address were real issues... the developers didn't just make changes at random. I'm not interested in playing Fantasy Vietnam. I'm not interested in classes that can only be their archetype a few times a day. I'm not interested in 15 minutes of fun in five hours of play. I'm not interested in dedicated healbots. The list goes on and on... But the important thing is: if nothing is learned in this edition, you'll get to hear all these complaints all over again, because we'll be going back to a system that had some fundamental design issues. I hope that doesn't happen, but I'd say you'll know a lot more about these complaints since they'll be just as loud in the next edition. As they were back a few years ago. I HOPE they can address these issues, I have FAITH in most of the design team, and I'd LOVE to keep playing D&D and to see it thrive. If having it thrive means it's a game I have no interest in playing, that will make me sad, but there are a lot of great games out there. I can move on and happy gaming to everyone. What I am going to do, however, is playtest, and report my results regularly. Will they be listened to? Will anybody care? Hopefully yes! [/QUOTE]
