But personally, all of the things I have wanted to alter in 4e have slotted into the system seamlessly and effortlessly. Nothing has fallen apart.' I'm not sure what kind of game you are looking for, or the kind you enjoy, which elements you like/dislike/prefer from the two systems... so it's hard to call. You seem kind of caught in a limbo in between. What would you have to do ... well... tricky question. You could hunt down a 4e game and try it with experienced 4e players, as opposed to your friends. That might give you a fresh perspective on it. Butthat might not be possible, or something you'd be prepared to do or even enjoy. So...You could start from Essentials and use it exclusively. It's designed for new players. But none of us have played/tried or even properly seen Essentials... so, who knows...? Or you could get a DDI account, even for just a month, which would give you access to two increadible tools, the Monster Builder, and the Character Builder. Then you could pick up something like Masterplan program (free) to help you organise your campaign, encounters, battles etc. You wouldn't have to rebuild all your creatures in the MM, only adjust the ones that you are actually going to use. Plus there is the MM2 ... and MM3... with one subscription you get access to everything. Pretty good deal, don't you think?Will Essentials make you like 4e any more? I don't know. A lot of people are asking the same question. Personally I love the system already.  I liked it from the start, and from where I'm sitting, it just keeps getting better.Good luck in finding the game where you can feel like that's the game you want to be playing.</blockquote>
