D&D 4E Reported post: Has 4E lost its sense of wonder?(3818148)

[Charwoman Gene]

Original post:

When I first heard about 4E, I was skeptical and somewhat disappointed that it was coming out so soon after 3.75, right when I really felt like the D20 market was stabilizing somewhat.

Then I thought about it and heard about some of the stuff they were doing and trying to fix and I really got kind of excited about it, and wondering whether it would be a good jot of energy that the RPG industry might be needing.

But these days, I'm just not feeling it so much. I sort of miss those halcyon days of bitter vitriol or those eager days of anticipation (when I spent that desperate week, trying to become a playtester... Ah, that seemed like years ago now, but it was like dancing in fields of clover, listening to podcasts). I get that sense from other people, and from reading the boards, that maybe I'm not alone.

Do you think that we can bring back those glory days of 4E when people felt, you know, really passionate about it? Or are they lost forever?

Since we've still got the 'no satire' at the top of the forum sticky, I've closed it.

Want to dump that sticky thread at this point?

We probably could, but ideally not so soon after I've just said this!

Perhaps at the end of the week?

It's a deal.
