[QUOTE="Scurvy_Platypus, post: 5333948, member: 43283"] *sigh* look, I'm going to guess you mean well, but yeah... I do know there's other games out there. I play them, I run them, and I've been doing it for the past 20 years. "Play a different game" isn't an especially useful answer. It mainly come across as "OMG!! You're BadTouching my game! Go away!" I spent my money on the rulebooks, it's my game. If there's going to be issues with what I'm doing/trying to do, then it's nice to get specifics. Thanks. I've certainly been wrong about plenty of stuff in the past, so I'm open to the possibility that this is another one of those things. The wah00 factor isn't so much an issue for me; I've run games where characters are teleporting at 3rd level. The overall complexity of the game as it progresses is the main reason I dig E6 type stuff... less book-keeping, more ass-kicking. heh. I get that I'm almost completely alone in that I both like 4E and also happen to feel Essentials is the new ".5 edition". It's no biggie. So, from that perspective, yeah I've got a tightly held idea of what Essentials is/is about. Still, I thought I'd show up and ask fans of Essentials if it's going to do anything special for me.
