[QUOTE="El Mahdi, post: 4502340, member: 59506"] I normally don't prefix every post I make with "Hi, I'm so-and-so, and I've never played 4E". I don't feel that's necessary. If someone wants to know the peculiars about me, then they can read the "About Me" portion of my profile. As to cajones, I don't know about the rest of the people on here, but I can guarantee you there are a good number of people, scattered throughout many parts of this world, that could vouch for my having them. But, to make this easy for you, I haven't played 4E. I've [I]read[/I] the rules. (I'm actually a pretty competent reader, as I would imagine most people on ENWorld are, and I do own the three core 4E books, and have read them. I won't disregard a good resource, even if I don't play the system.) I've [I]read[/I] a [I]lot[/I] of games and game systems rules. I've [I]played[/I] a lot of games and systems. Because of my experience, I can understand how the game will play and feel, [I]for me[/I], by reading those rules. Add to that the anecdotal information provided by reading how the game feels for others, and I have a very good understanding of how it will run. I and many others don't deny that 4E plays fast, and simple, and very fun - [I]for those who like 4E[/I]. For those who don't, for those who feel 4E has something missing, it doesn't play "fun". Edit: Also, just because someones opinions, thoughts or feelings don't jive with [I]"your"[/I] idea of [I]common sense[/I], that doesn't make then non-sensical. Common Sense should tell a person that nobody knows everything, and their way isn't necesarily the [I]right[/I] [B]or[/B] [I]wrong[/I] way. [/QUOTE]
