[QUOTE="Vokov, post: 4624841, member: 82045"] I admit, I too am a long time lurker... I was a bit more active when TOGC had the old forums... But when the boards switched to here, I didn't want to sign up for it... But, to show my support, I made me an account today! Anyhoo... for me, I wasn't using 3.x rule set anyways. I never much liked the rule set... too many rules that just slowed the game down... I was always planning on using BECMI rules instead. I found DB to be relatively generic that any game system would work. I looked at a few systems to try out. However, after reading many reviews of 4E, I decided to obtain a copy of the rules. I have not yet had a chance to read them, but the quickstart guide looks very promising. I am considering using 4E instead as the rules appear to be more miniature based rather than RP based as most reviews indicate. Personally, I don't want to spend 10 hours of my Saturday every weekend playing D&D anymore... To me, I want DB to be a board game (with ongoing campaign style leveling like Hero Quest) and so far, it has lived up to that. If you ever played Everquest, the expansion, Lost Dungeons of Norrath, is the feel I am going for. And DB fits that role, regardless of rule set. I would not mind if TOGC switched to 4E because I would only pick and choose what I needed anyways. What I liked most of DB was the Dungeon Generation table (which I have completely converted to cards) and the quests/missions. The Encounter tables I didn't use because I wanted to make 6 unique dungeon styles. Similar in fashion to TOGC's DB green skin expansion pack. Once I figure out my rule set, and choose my critter tables, i plan to convert them to cards too. Might also find a way to create a treasure table using cards that accounts for average party level... but that's later ;) So right now, its a toss up... BECMI (with custom rules added) or 4E... Either way, TOGC can upgrade to 4E and I would be ok with it. In fact, if after I finish reading 4E and decide to make the switch, then TOGC would just make my job easier. My 2 copper...
