[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 7610860, member: 83242"] 1. Group 1 started in the 80's with 1e/basic; group 2 started with 4e) 2. Both groups played 4e from the beginning (maybe a few months after release) until the start of 5e. We transitioned to 5e a few months after its release. To clarify, we didn't "attempt" to play 4e, we played it for its entire run. We really enjoyed it. It is the edition that brought us back to, or for some started, our love for D&D. I really like the edition, but I did notice a difference in the type of play it seemed to create between my new players and my veterans. The new group played 4e for 5 years or so, but I could never get them into the creative play that my veterans found so easy. I believe some of the issue, but definitely not all, was the rules for everything nature of the game. In hindsight, I can see ways I could have introduced the game that might have mitigated that, but I just didn't realize it would be an issue until too late. [/QUOTE]
