[QUOTE="dm4hire, post: 6167892, member: 14848"] Ok, both books are out now and people have had a chance to read through enough to get a good feel for the systems. Which do you see yourself running now? I really like both games and am torn between which to run though leaning more toward Numenera, mainly because it is definitely a new twist on d20. I get the vibe that Monte truly took the best of everything on this one and made it into its own thing. It definitely doesn't feel like D&D but really captures that new game essence when reading it. I want to learn and play it. 13th Age on the other hand definitely feels like D&D, but done in a way that feels new and better than 4e. 4e to me seemed very cookie cutter, slap new paint on it, and change the name and it's a new class, leaving me bored after the first two levels because everything is the same. 13th definitely doesn't do that. It also is a lot lighter. I want to play it because it feels like D&D the way I wanted 4e to feel. And it still has that 3e tone in the background. This will most likely be the game I stay with over the long haul only because everyone I play with will feel more comfortable with it. All that being said what are your opinions as to which you will most likely stay with? [/QUOTE]
