[QUOTE="Henry, post: 4284269, member: 158"] ...Unless the DM doesn't want to even PLAY 4th edition, in which case it's a big problem. It's not easy to leave a friend behind, if they want nothing to do with a given game that you're playing. If he's not averse to playing as opposed to DMing, then the solution is easy -- someone bites the bullet and DMs. From the mechanics side, DMing 4e is the easiest darned edition to DM in the past ten years. The real hard part there is getting over that initial hurdle of DMing for the first time for a new DM. Like riding a bike or driving a car, after you get the hang of it, it's almost impossible to forget, and it gets better with practice. And it's FUN. :) If the person refuses to play 4e regardless, then there's a hard choice: Who caves in? Or does the group split, or make arrangements for a different game altogether? That's something only the person with the problem can answer. Some groups will naturally change game nights to accomodate, or they will find another fun activity to do together, and hold the controversial game some other night. Others just bow out gracefully and find something else to do. Only the group in question can answer that the right way. [/QUOTE]
