[QUOTE="Gothmog, post: 4943007, member: 317"] The most important factor by far in running/playing a game is the group. A great group can make any game fun, and conversely a terrible group can ruin the best game ever made. I've been fortunate to be in almost entirely good groups over the years, but I've been in a few bad ones (mostly at cons and game days) which were cringe-worthy. That said, edition and system do make a difference. If I am not excited about playing or running a certain system, then the game will be lacking in ways it might not be if I played a game I enjoyed more. One the other hand, a system that gets my creative juices flowing makes me want to play/run it more, and leads to a more satisfying gaming experience. 4e is a system that excites my group, and really engages me to be creative and look forward to every session. In contrast, 3e was a horrible fit for our playstyle. Thats the main reason my groups won't touch 3e/Pathfinder with a 10 foot pole. [/QUOTE]
