[QUOTE="Scrivener of Doom, post: 6243263, member: 87576"] I also love how 4E made me challenge all my assumptions about how to run, play, and even create an RPG. I suppose there's a simulationist vs gamist argument to be made there but I have sworn an oath to never get involved in any thread where "simulationist" and "gamist" or similar terms are a topic of discussion. Those things are worse than edition wars. Suffice to say, 4E made me rethink RPGs and has helped me embrace new things. It really was a paradigm shift (and shifter). Agreed. That's a better analysis of the situation than me simply saying there was no PHB. I am sorely tempted at some point in my semi-retirement to start compiling and editing all of the 4E material into new PDFs for my own use - and that would involve ditching the obsolete feats, for example - but I still have too many interesting things to do each day to consider this. ;) Although your snipped quote neglected to include the part where I state that I am still a subscriber to DDi in order to have the legally-available DDi tools. :) Nevertheless, there are advantages to effectively not having a legal system and for having internet access via an anonymously-purchased sim card.... :) PS: Your reputation comment really made me laugh! Thanks. ;) [/QUOTE]
