[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 4947509, member: 22779"] Yes. After my 3e game ended, we switched to Savage Worlds, and now Sufficiently Advanced. Next might be 4e, possibly with a side trek into Spirit of the Century, and there was some mention of another game whose name currently escapes me. 4e core set was 60 bucks IIRC (it's been a while), Savage Worlds Explorer's Edition was 10 bucks, SA is free, SOTC is playable for free with the online SRD (I'm not GMing), and the other games I don't know yet. So, so far, about 70 bucks. You are positing a false dichotomy here. It's not a case of "people matter, therefore system doesn't matter at all", but rather a case where people matter more than system does. That does not mean that system does not matter at all. I'm changing systems because I'm bloody tired of 3e D&D and D&D in general. I played D&D every week, sometimes twice a week for about the last fifteen years or so almost exclusively. I want to play something different. But, hell will freeze over before I start playing with people I don't like ever again. Pulled that stunt back when I was playing in the local FLGS and posting gamer ads on the (physical) bulletin boards. Never, ever again will I play with people I don't like, regardless of the system. OTOH, I will play, say, D&D again, with people I like. Oh, and just this last point: Like this is different from ANY other edition? Why do you specifically call out 4e for this and not just a blanket D&D instead, since "The DM is doing it wrong" is a complaint that dates back to about the second day D&D was ever played. :) [/QUOTE]
