[QUOTE="LordArchaon, post: 4095485, member: 60929"] Yes, as I mentioned in another thread, 4e actually brings me back into D&D playing, and DMing more than playing. The main reason is that I like to pull out some interesting, strange and alternative settings and adventures, so that includes monsters, NPCs, and everything. And with 3e, I got the tools to do it, but it was a SLLLLOOOOOWWW process. Besides the increased speed of content creation that 4e gives, the fact that the math is said to function more than in 3e is a really really big incentive to switch over. Because when you, a DM, spend A LOT of time following all the rules and making all the encounters well, and then discover that the CR system is just a loose shot in the dark, you feel kinda pissed. I know I will miss something from 3e. Monsters with lots of options, NPCs especially, and maybe silly multiclassing/dipping. But come on, it will be little more than nostalgia, because I'm sure 4e is more efficient at those things too. I have a home-made world that will be easily converted to 4e. I have plans for 4e version of a custom class (the [URL=http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=220725]Wildhuant, take a look[/URL]) that I was doing for 3.5 and which got stuck when creating the spells for it, and I know that what I couldn't do in months for that class I will do in days with 4e, not to mention that it will actually be more useful, since it will be a replacement for the initially missing Druid... Given all these things, I'm sure that the day I'll get the books for 4e I will play D&D again, after months of stagnation, and, even better, that I will be able to do it regularly from that moment on.
