[QUOTE="NewJeffCT, post: 5424920, member: 10784"] I DM 4E now and we've been gaming fairly regularly for about 8 months now, though we've been off for 5 weeks do to holidays/vacations now. As a DM, I love that it is much easier to prepare than 3.5E, and encounters seem to run much much faster than they did in 3.5E. I like minions a lot and the fact that not every party needs a cleric. However, I still don't love healing surges and I miss Vancian magic... even though I often spent 20-30-40 hours between sessions preparing encounters once my 3.5E campaign got past level 10/11 or so. (OK, I often overprepared, but I was anal about not cheating & picking out every spell, feat, power, skill and magic item for each bad guy.) I'm not sure I love the feel of 4E, but it could just be me getting used to the sytem - I was new to 3.5E when I started DMing that campaign almost 3 1/2 years ago and it took me a while to get comfortable with those rules.
