[QUOTE="ki11erDM, post: 4707408, member: 58179"] [FONT=Verdana]THAT is RL. It is not the unplayable cash cow that TSR turned it into, to me at least. I see no reason, at all, why we should be cursed with all that baggage. RL is/was a D&D horror setting of many stories with detailed description and with ever changing rules created by the dark powers. It was created to take super heroes to another world that they did not and COULD NOT fully understand so their players would fear for the lives of their characters and be e[FONT=Verdana]nveloped by rich story just as there characters were enveloped in the mists.[/FONT] [/FONT] [FONT=Verdana]There is no reason why you can’t do that in 4e. none. In fact now you have tremendous range to do what you want and how you want to do it. No longer are you hampered by that disjointed map in the blackbox and all the random mashed up realms that went with it. When TSR made RL into a campaign setting RL died. 4e might actually be the one thing that can take it back to what it once was… a dark mysterious world that players feared.[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
