[QUOTE="Sir Osis of Liver, post: 4723298, member: 2427"] Sorry but it's just bad luck. Some of the best games i've played have been gameday games. Even when it's an adventure with no real built in roleplaying if you have the a good gm and enthuesiastic players it will be fun. For example, i had a blast at the local ww game day last weekend. It was a very basic adventure heavy on hack and slash. We had pregens with no background, and most of the players had never played 4e. as matter of fact some of the players said they really had no interest in playing 4e before the game but had nothing better to do that day. It all worked out though, the guys playing the gnome bard and the warforged barbarian ended up deciding they were best friends and every time the warforged rushed into combat he would bust out a short monotone song about killing stuff. It was very cool. One of the other guys decided that my character and his were in a relationship, so we spent the game trying to come up with and implement ways that our characters could double team enemies. We very little to work with but we all ended up having a great time, and as a bonus everyone with a bad opinion of 4e left saying the game had completely changed thier outlook on the game. I suggest coming up here the next time there is a Boston gameday, i don't think i ever had a bad game at one of those.:) [/QUOTE]
