[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 5643057, member: 725"] I think that is way to harsh towards the designers, that you (and I) don't like the direction 4E has gone would not originate with the designers. Designers design by the demands of their higher ups. WotC/Hasbro management decided what course they wanted to sail, designers just implement the policies. When you line up all the 'mistakes' they made the course they are sailing becomes clear, it's not a wrong course, it just doesn't have as many passengers as they hoped or were used to. I find (objectively) 4E very sound, game mechanic wise, it just lacks that certain something that inspires me to run a game (Pathfinder does have that certain something, for me atleast). I fear that 5E would continue the course 4E started, WotC management hoping that this particular course will lead them to the new world with all it's treasures, only forgetting that most of the passengers are dying of malnutrition along the way...
