Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rokes" data-source="post: 4874492" data-attributes="member: 27508">I probably should have clarified my statement a little better.  It's not so much looking at a computer screen that bothers me, it's reading on it for long periods.  I'm young enough to have grown up with computers.  I own dual 24" monitors at home, and yes, I do enjoy looking at them.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  To me, playing a game or even browsing around on the web isn't the same as reading on a screen.  I could never see myself reading a book on a Kindle.  I own and am addicted to my iphone, and frequently read ENWorld from it, so it's not even the text size that matters (besides ctrl+plus makes everything bigger anyway).  It's more that I don't enjoy RELAXING for a read in front of a computer screen.  I subscribed to DDI for the first year, and didn't renew, but only because I chose not to play 4e, not because DDI was lacking.  Teh interwebs are great for prepping an encounter, and pulling out all sorts of integrated crunch, I can't deny that.  That's where DDI excels, and excels mightily.  But when I want to sit back and read for enjoyment (as I did with Dungeon), I want dead trees.I do acknowledge there is a noticable segment out there that does agree with not wanting to look at a computer screen at all when they get home, but that's not exactly what I meant.</blockquote>
