[QUOTE="jaerdaph, post: 5265541, member: 3398"] The terminology was a big change in 4e from all prior editions. I can follow any D&D discussion from OD&D through 3.5e and Pathfinder, but a lot of the new terminology in 4e leaves me scratching my head. Granted, if you never played 2e (or late 1e) you might not know what THAC0 is, and If I played 4e, I'm sure it wouldn't be insurmountable. Then again, the only time I ever talk about "strikers" at EN World is every four years during the World Cup... :lol: Still, there are a lot of good things I've heard and am aware of about 4e, such as less DM prep time and the whole Points of Light concept which are intriguing. I'm sure it's a great game because there are a lot of people that obviously enjoy it. It just wasn't for me. I think we should concentrate on the positive and be thankful we have choices.
