[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 4439988, member: 2525"] Celtavian, I appreciate your concerns about 4e on a theoretical level after having read the rules. I strongly encourage you to play the game (a few times) before assuming that the game plays as you imagine it will play having read the rules. While opinions of course vary, one comment that comes up with great frequency from first time players of 4e is that it plays better, and more fun, than they anticipated having purely read the rules. And there are things that, when combined with each other, end up working better than the individual parts seemed to work when reading them. Put aside for a moment D&D itself. I am sure in your life that you have encountered things that you thought would work out one way based on your knowledge of the people and facts in question, but which actually turned out fairly different than you predicted. D&D 4e, for a lot of people, tends to work out like that. Give the game a try a few times before concluding it's not for you. You may be pleasantly surprised. If not, I wish you luck in finding a different gaming group that does better meet your tastes. I have heard a lot of good things about Pathfinder, for example. [/QUOTE]
