[QUOTE="Guy Icognito, post: 8077795, member: 7025748"] It's hilarious to think that one of the big problems with the new player experience is character level vs. class level vs. spell level. As if anyone touching DnD before hasn't played a video game where their character is a level 10 warrior with two levels in rampage using a third level blood axe People can get that stuff quickly. It's not a significant barrier Or simple rules. Dungeon exists. A dozen DnD Devlve games exist. A hundred other games that are "DnD but simpler exist." But none are close to as popular The big hurdle is understanding the game. The idea of there being this referee that tells the stories and builds the game. That's this big logical leap. Once you get over that it becomes smoother Experienced players are a bigger wall. The grognards and edition warriors and factious internet communities. Everyone arguing that the ranger sux and fighters are boring or we need Dragonlance back or how 3e/4e was the bomb or OSR is the right way to play. The people arguing that orcs need to have intelligence penalties and drow have to be evil [/QUOTE]
