[QUOTE="zguillotine, post: 4478985, member: 77565"] [b]Tweak or Not - Response[/b] It is my humble opinion that those who refuse to change are left behind. Change is the life's blood of all things. We humans have an entire system of measuring and tracking change that most of us simply cannot get around. It is Time. All that being said and mentioning that in my town there are not many DMs who currently DM 4E, I would have to say that the amount of material available is immense. I started by trying to tweak the content of one of the old FR books into a campaign and, truthfully, we enjoyed it, both the players and myself. Unfortunately, I have a life, with kids and a wife and all that jazz. This means I do not have unlimited time to tweak old materials into new materials simply because I am not willing to let go of my preconceptions. Now, I would never deign to say that you are not being open minded, however, I have found that the new content in general, is quite good. It requires a little reading in advance to get the "thread" of the adventure, but no other real preparation. I am not at all sure that I like all of the organizational ideas they have implemented, but that is probably because I am not yet used to the information organization. But what does this have to do with the question you might ask. Well, I am rather long winded in that department, but I do have a point. Resistance is futile. Either prepare yourself for a real life eating grind of preparation, preparation, preparation (ad naseum) or use what is being provided. Heck, if you sign up as a GM for LFR, you get free content. You really cannot beat that with a large stick... um, especially since there are currently no Monks. Anyway, that is my two cents. -=zguillotine=- [/QUOTE]
