Message: <blockquote data-quote="SlyDoubt" data-source="post: 5762582" data-attributes="member: 6667337">It would be sad. I have barely played 4E due to a combination of life and disinterest. When I do play RPGs I usually play Pathfinder, 3.5, D20 Modern, Atlernity, etc. This is, in good part, because these are the games I started playing RPGs with. Regardless of my distaste for 4E, it has been disheartening seeing the game flounder around with what seems like no real strong direction at all. I own a good deal of 4E material simply because I was hopeful and wanted to support the whole brand. I really quite like the fundamentals line. It made some friends a lot less concerned about having a set of rules of their own since they were very affordable. There must be some kind of internal struggle going on over at WOTC. The D&D line is just incredibly schizophrenic and like I said, has for a few years now had no discernible direction.As an aside. I really hate DDI. I really hate the way everything is done to be as lazy as possible with 4E. By putting everything on cards, in online reference, etc. it just encourages people to be extremely lazy about the rules. Nothing has stuck with my players when it comes to 4E because they know they can always just look it up in 5 seconds anyway so why bother learning the game. I know many of you will disagree completely, that's fine. Most likely your players are very dedicated and enjoy reading and learning the rules. In my case though, my players could care less and 4E has only exacerbated this issue by making everything in the game idiot proof because it's all easily accessible to the pint there's no benefit really to remembering/learning.</blockquote>
