[QUOTE="Hereticus, post: 4768521, member: 83093"] When I was in college (early 80s), I played D&D, was in a band (for beer money and to meet chicks), and played just about every sport intramurally. Yeah my grades suffered for all of my diverse activities, but I graduated. After I graduated one of my friends bought a house. Friday night and one other night during the week was for D&D, Saturday night was for clubbing, and there was also sports on weekends and evenings. I had no interest in grad school like some of the people I knew from work. After I got married and had three kids, the clubbing ended, and D&D and (my) sports became more sporadic. I switched from D&D to White Wolf (mostly Dark Ages) because I loved history. For the past five years I've played 3.5E, with some old friends on line, and some new friends at various homes. I don't like playing in game stores, but will do so in running Delve Nights. The best place to game is outside around a campfire with lots of beer. One thing I've learned from 20+ years of professional work is never to complain about something unless you have facts (strong opinions in the case of D&D) to back you up, and a solution. I've complained about some things in fourth edition all I care to complain, and have offered some solutions. Now I've decided that I will change over to 4.0E, and my online group is thinking of doing that too. Now that my Eladrin Wizard had hit 12th level, he can now do most of the things I want a spell caster to do. In fact after spending most of the hero tier as weaker than the martials, I now think I've created a better build. [/QUOTE]
