[QUOTE="shadowguidex, post: 4117456, member: 60880"] I started my DD career in 1st edition, and have played every edition since. My current 3.5 campaign has lasted a couple of years - my group has gamed continuously since the release of 3.0. My group is very enthusiastic about the release of 4E - everyone is scouring all the boards as much as possible trying to find more information. We have generally always been excited about gaming nights, but now we seem to spend at least an hour every week discussing all the new information we have found out about 4E. We plan to scrap our current game and get right into a brand new level one adventure that I have already began writing. I personally am very diligent about polishing my adventures perfectly, trying to envision all possible loopholes and exploits, and trying to really flesh out the setting and the encounters. I am very excited about the ease that 4E will introduce in the area of writing the adventure from a DM's perspective. I spend hours and days writing adventure, yet I frequently feel that 3.5E is too cumbersome. 4E seems to be streamlining the DM's job without dumbing down the process. I can now create the exact monster I want in much less time, yet the monster will feel unique and challenging, and capable of doing things that no other monsters can do. I think this needs to be said - there is always a silent majority that doesn't feel compelled to complain and will take change in stride. I believe the ratio of 4E lovers to haters is screwed drastically by a vocal minority that either loves to complain, or fears change. Many people fit into both categories. [/QUOTE]
