[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 4641381, member: 48965"] Well in all honesty our second try at 4e ended last weekend (I was the DM), my players choice to switch to something else. It's not that 4e was horrible...but we've played so many games that were better for our enjoyment that it seems a waste of time to continue with 4e... so we have tentatively decided to go with either Scion: Hero or Dark Ages: Inquisitor. I have ceased buying anything for 4e because my players as well as myself just aren't enjoying it... we don't find tactical miniature grid-based combat, all that fun in and of itself, the powers really don't do anything for us and it honestly feels like we've switched to a boardgame in the middle of our sessions when combat starts. This seems to be the focus of 4e on a much larger scale than 3e. I was hoping perhaps some innovative 3PP company would be able to produce (through supplements or campaign worlds) something that would make 4e click for me (as WotC just ain't doing it) but that really doesn't seem like a possibility at this point. So I am taking a hiatus of sorts from D&D 4e for awhile. As far as houserules... I seriously don't know how to houserule enjoyment into a game, and I'm starting to feel like 4e just isn't our type of game. It's actually a little disappointing to me but we'll see. Yet my players enjoy 3.5 (and no, they aren't all spellcaster players... in fact we've only got one dedicated caster player). [/QUOTE]
