Message: <blockquote data-quote="Samnell" data-source="post: 3786922" data-attributes="member: 130">I said as much. I wasn't actually trying to restart it; I don't even intend to continue it. I'm stating my own aesthetic and design preferences here. It's simply on the list of things that, by my lights, 4e is doing critically wrong. It's not a dealbreaker in itself, but it's probably about 75% of a dealbreaker for me. A less robust, less internally-consistent system is inherently less appealing to me. I do want a system where no meaningful rules difference exists between monsters, PCs, and NPCs. 3e made tremendous strides towards this, which are now being apparently abandoned. I saw exactly where "this is never meant for PCs" got us with 2e. The news I've heard about 4e is, to me, almost entirely bad. Some of it is so perfectly contrary to my preferences that I'd wonder if WotC had a chip in my brain were I given to paranoia. But I know that the people at WotC do enjoy and care about the game, and honestly don't even know my name. I'm not important enough for them to want to torment even if they were inclined to do some tormenting. <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=":)" /> They're just not making the game I want to see made. I want something more like 3.6. Or maybe 3.51.</blockquote>
