[QUOTE="Baka no Hentai, post: 4156763, member: 62883"] Wow, I just want to chime in with my condolences for the train-wreck of an experience you had. If my friends did the same thing to me I would be more than a bit upset, as I'd much rather them tell me up front that they are not going to give it a fair chance rather than let me waste hours of prep-time. I really do hope that those were gaming acquaintinces and not friends, as I can't imagine my friends doing something so disrespectful to me. While its obvious that your group will not be wanting to play 4E anytime soon, dont give up all hope (assuming that you still want to play after the books come out.) Since you said that you are going to be playing your 3.5 campaign before switching regardless, that gives everyone plenty of time to warm up to the idea of giving it an actual open-minded try. Right now it's "cool" to be against 4E. Kind of like how some people stop liking a band because the band "sells out" by releasing an album that appeals to a mainstream audience. Please note that I am absolutely *not* saying that all (or even most) anti-4E'ers are like this... but the comparison seems apt in this particular case. Hopefully given enough time they will be able to get over that and be able to get to the point where they can judge the game on its actual flaws and merits. Until then, best of luck to you :) [/QUOTE]
