[QUOTE="FallenTabris, post: 4382524, member: 48535"] I was watching every instance of preview of 3e back in the day with giddy anticipation. I immediately converted my 2nd edition group over to 3e as soon as I had the 3.0 player`s handbook in my hand. And it was great for about 2 years until the creation of npcs and encounters started giving me headaches. That and the one time everybody had basically either made a new character who was spellcasting or multiclassed into sorcerers. I was out before 3.5 reared its head. The people I play with now though had continued to play D&D without me. One of them became the DM for their D&D games while I ran Werewolf:the Apocalypse. This time around I again watched every instance of 4e getting previewed. And it encouraged me to try D&D again. So I bought the books on a Friday morning.. and was DMing that night from 12am until the sun rose. It was a blast for everybody! Not just the players dreaming of kick ass power potential but for me and how easy it was going to be setting up adventures. Hopefully I won't see the hidden drawbacks that cropped up in 3e: Power/class combos that were above par, byzantine encounter creation or players having frustration they can't do something so simple as grab the monster`s arm without a complex rule association.
