[QUOTE="timbannock, post: 4807431, member: 17913"] I much prefer 4e because of the efficiency in design of the DM elements...I literally did a 4e conversion of Castle Zagyg Upper Works in about 2 days off relatively little work. All monsters (except for one of the locations) and 90% of the treasure. Just dirt simple. But to be fair, I was recently running a 3.5 game and I just ported a metric ton-load of the ideas and design elements of 4e into my monters and treasure, and bam! It was dirt simple to run 3.5. My biggest problem was letting my players really handle their own stuff while I kept my hands out of it and just worried about my adventure and monsters. I can't pinpoint exactly what it was, but there was something about 3.5 that just made me want to "police" the players a lot more. When I stopped doing that, it was 100 times better for everyone involved. When DMing 4e, that just came naturally to me. I don't know why. [/QUOTE]
