[QUOTE="Tiitha, post: 5493448, member: 96029"] Sorry for taking such a long time to reply to my own thread! I've been trying to get some friends to try 4e so I can run an experimental game, but they seem to believe that 4e is inferior to 3.5. It's all the stuff taken out of 4e that makes it less fun to role play, like less alignments and less skills. I realize you can make up for these things though, like Good can also be Chaotic Good for example, but they don't seem to like it because it's less structural, or "lazy" as one of my DMing friends likes to call it. I suppose that structure is what gives a lot of that simulation we role players enjoy. 4e has taken out a lot of structural rules that 3.5 had laid out for players to pick up. You CAN always make exceptions to change anything, but it would be nice if WotC could write a supplement to fill in some of stuff they took out. As for the movement grid discussion, I understand how moving around specifically can take a lot of realism out. As a big lover of Dungeon Tiles, I can't stay away from the square grid format.
