[QUOTE="firesnakearies, post: 4577674, member: 71334"] This was me, for sure. I've been playing [B]D&D[/B] in its various forms since about 1985-1986 or so, and I've always been a big fan. But somewhere about three years ago, or so, I just plain got sick of it. [B]3.5[/B] was gloriously wonderful when it came out, but after running a long-term, very high-level game, I just got so burnt out on it. The game's just silly at higher levels, and the amount of work I had to put in as a DM was completely absurd. So I quit playing, and didn't so much as look at a [B]D&D[/B] book for a few years. But then [B]4E[/B] came along, and just out of curiosity, I took a glance at it. And immediately I was like, [I]"Whoa! This is really COOL!"[/I] And I've been pretty much wildly involved in it ever since. I'm definitely a convert. So the sweeping changes to the game absolutely brought me back in, where more subtle alterations would not have. I think the [B]4E[/B] team has made a fantastic game. I don't hesitate at all to say that it's the best RPG I've played. But I still see all of these little areas, little holdovers and subjects of debate that don't make a lot of sense to me. I tend to think that a lot of that stuff is just left in the fridge from the last edition's party, and no one bothered to clear it out. Mike Mearls is my game design hero, though. [B]$[/B] [/QUOTE]
