[QUOTE="Jeff Wilder, post: 4100276, member: 5122"] I suppose I'm some form of mutated, bastardized love-child of 3, 4, 5 and 10. (Least common multiple: 60. Apropos of nothing.) I never intended to DM 4E, simply due to the staggering investment I have in 3.5, despite being very well aware of 3.5's weaknesses. (I mentioned I DM, right?) But I was looking forward to the new edition, and figured I'd almost certainly enjoy it as a player. Then I saw two major rules sub-systems that are so mind-bogglingly contemptuous of gamers that I'll not be able to even play 4E. (One of those rules-systems I actually play-tested, in the form of the miniatures game, for several hours. And it was so horrible it drove me from that game.) So I find myself really liking certain aspects of 4E -- most of it, really -- but so loathing these other aspects that every time I think about the possibility of playing I throw up a little in my mouth. It's kinda like finding out that Scarlett Johansson is a guy ... after spending a lot of time fantasizing about getting her into bed. [/QUOTE]
