[QUOTE="hectorse, post: 4251703, member: 54665"] So I said we played 4th edition this last Sunday and we had a blast. Including me. I stopped playing 3.5 and RPG's altogether because of the immense ammount of prep time involved... A little clarification may be due. I am a very strong proponent of RAW, and only houserule things that are more or less common sense like really really really broken spells and stuff like that. I even played only published adventures (and still got like 3 left) throughout 3.x life 1 hour to 2 hour to make just one encounter? No thank you I am talking even with things such as e-tools and treasure generator tools All those things left me burn out even before getting to the table and my players walking through the combat saying "what's next?" Add to that that we got used to track everything that needed tracking (encumbrance, arrows shot, coins to weight conversion, etc) With KotS I skimmed through it for just 1 hour before playing and it ran even smoother than my best run adventure in 3! Add to that less mentally taxing abilities (Ability damage? JESUS CHRIST) and towards the end of the session I was eager TO CONTINUE, not EAGER TO GET A REST as it happened so often. Eagerly awaiting my books on monday 8th [/QUOTE]
