And it matters a lot!4e was/is a curious beast : most of the evidence points to the conclusion that it was/is something new. The* (actually, it is more accurate to say: "those that were left in charge of it after conception") designers, and pretty much every other producer of 4e content, didn't really know what the game actually was. And so, in the early days (the most important days!), created content for it that was, on the whole, fairly bad - thus setting the (very important!) default play experience in a pretty awkward position (to be polite).Plus all the marketing/ software/ GSL/ etc... Let's just say it didn't get the best "out the gate" it could have had...The only counter-point I'd like to make is this: I don't think there are . Since the effects we're talking about are those meant for "exceptional monsters", not the "run of the mill" kind, there shouldn't be that many to do. If we're talking about 20 monsters/special effects, that's something I feel comfortable saying one should be able to do all of them in an afternoon or two (ideally, two as I would wish for that dudette to post his ideas on a forum so I can steal.. I mean critic them!)</blockquote>
