[QUOTE="JesterOC, post: 4087381, member: 42841"] Well being 40 now I resemble that remark :) While I have not been hostile to anyone, I am frustrated that people are slamming 4E in a section dedicated to 4E. When 3E showed up, I heard the EXACT same arguments. “it is now Roll-Playing” , “It is too much like a tactical board game”… “It’s a money grab”…. I have heard it all before. When 3.5 came out, I did not buy any of the books. But I did not go onto the message boards to tell everyone about it. 3.0 was fine for me at the time, and the changes seemed too small to warrant buying new books. After a while I just stopped playing D&D. Not because 3.5 was bad, but 3.5 and 3.0 just took too much time to prepare and run. I have a wife and kid, and so do all of my gaming buddies. PC gaming was just too easy to do compared to D&D. Well when I heard of the new 4E and heard that it was a complete revamp of D&D and it did a lot to help out a GM to make gaming easier, I said sign me up! What I have seen so far is EVRERYTHING I could have asked for. Simple rules that allow for depth of play. Stream lined skill system. Lots of cool things to do even at first level. Who could ask for more. Now I know that I am not the typical gamer here. I assume that most people here still play every week or so. If you love 3.5 more power to you, but then why are “old schoolers” showing up to the 4th edition section trying to “prove” that 3E > 4E. Perhaps it is best to write those posts in the 3E section.
