[QUOTE="Shealladh, post: 3815947, member: 20970"] After reading all the responses here, I think I can only summise that I shall be turning the lights out on D&D. After playing and Dming for twenty years, this annoys me and leaves me with the bitter taste of disgust in my mouth. All this 4e rule changes are moving away from the game I enjoyed to play. As I see it, I may as well go and play WOW. They (WotC) did test the waters in the new digital realm of mmorpg's and failed. 4e looks like a half-baked attempt at the inbetween of digital and PnP roleplaying to me. At least in the old days it took ages to create content on paper, with the growth of the digital age came the possibility of greater things. Now I'm left with the feeling of loosing what I loved so much. At least when it was all PnP you could play no matter if you where using hand-drawn paper notes and maps, computer enhanced worlds on printouts, scribed on parchment or some other form of paper in a variety of mediums, it was called D&D and was known as Dungeons & Dragons. I now feel it is going down the road of Digital & Dead. So with this rant, I guess it's good bye to my first and oldest hobby and will have to try and find either a CRPG that might come close to my wants, but this 4e is not why or what I want to play ANYMORE....
