[QUOTE="Ulrick, post: 4914007, member: 775"] Everytime I think of 4e or look at the crisp and barely used 4e books on my shelf, I feel sad. I've been playing D&D since 1988. D&D was like a friend to me, growing, changing, but still seemed familiar. And we had plenty of memories together. But then one day D&D showed up wearing new cloths. D&D said he was like the same person, but he's gone through some changes. Upon closer look, I didn't really recognize my friend anymore. And his behavior changed too, he became addicted to crunch and video games. Now D&D and I barely talk. I can't talk to D&D because he won't listen. He says WotC says crunch and video games are good for him. And I keep saying: "No! You need to read more and be creative. Even a few years ago all the crunch wasn't that bad. You were still the creative friend I knew!" But he won't listen. "WotC knows what's best for me," he says and he sits down to play WoW and eat a bag full of crunch. "This is fun. He said. You should try it." I did, and I don't want to be a crunch and video game addict. "WotC is a bad influence on you, D&D. A really bad influence." I feel like I've lost a friend to crunch and videogames. D&D is on a downward spiral. I'm afraid he'll become broke and without friends and WotC will just move on to get somebody else hooked, leaving D&D in the gutter. Maybe its time for an intervention. Paizo? [/QUOTE]
