[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 4859182, member: 2067"] I will say, despite 4e's vaunted "making the DM's life easier" capability, in general, I find the feature to be vastly overrated. Things do take a long time, still. 4e is noticeably smoother, but that doesn't necessarily mean faster, and it still has parts where the road gets bumpy. I'd say 3e has bumpiness throughout it, like a gravel road. I'd say 4e has a smooth valley in between gigantic peaks of sheer, face-bludgeoning granite. ;) Still, if you're tired of 3e, 4e probably makes a lot of sense for you. Just make sure the players are all on board, too, and stick to that well-traveled valley. Assuming no players are invested in the parts of D&D that 4e just doesn't do very well, you should have a smooth ride, and a lot of fun. Give the free game a whirl, and let us know how it turns out. It sounds a lot like you're ready to jump on the 4e bandwagon, so you definately owe it to yourself to give it a fair try, and to see if your players might feel the same way you do. [/QUOTE]
