[QUOTE="El Mahdi, post: 4502453, member: 59506"] I appreciate that you feel that way, but that really isn't true for me. I can't even get past character creation. The sheer number of things I can't do, or can only do in a very preset and rigid manner, ruins it for me right out of the gate. Now I agree that there is a ton of good stuff in the 4E rules. And if I knew for certain that all I ever wanted to do was DM and never play a character, 4E would probably be my system of choice. As to that ton of good stuff, I've stolen a lot of those good parts for my houseruled 3.5E game. I find it easier to add on the good parts of 4E to 3E, rather than adding on parts of 3E to 4E. I just like significantly more of 3E than 4E. Does this mean I'll [I]never[/I] play a game of 4E, absolutely not. If I encounter a 4E game, whether friends or new groups, I'd more than be up for playing a one-off. But for a long term game and a favored system, 3E is the one for me (and my group). However, if I do change my tune (and it's not completely outside the realm of possibility), I guarantee there will be a new thread on ENWorld the very next day, titled [I]"I changed my tune about 4E. Anyone else feel the same?",[/I] started by yours truly. You can also be sure my post will have plenty of these::blush::o. But, if I were you, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that thread.;) [/QUOTE]
