[QUOTE="ctorus, post: 8551194, member: 6790819"] I was literally replying to someone who challenged that anyone had ever said that. Whether the point is correct or not is a separate issue. Honestly this whole discussion is so unnecessarily fractious. I think it's useful to consider what worked well in previous editions when considering what one would like to see in a new edition, and 4e should be part of that discussion in an unproblematic way. I think that's something most of us would agree with. I'll hold my hand up and admit I have baggage too. As someone who liked 4e and still plays it, I felt then and still feel that it got unfairly maligned, and when 5e was presented as somehow 'righting the wrong' of 4e that alienated me. But I also accept that we have to move on. I still have my books and can still enjoy playing them. I did try 5e initially but didn't like it. It's been frustrating seeing everything coming out for it, and all the online stuff being developed, and thinking what could have been.. I know it's unlikely, but if 6e was something that could bring me back, perhaps by including some of the things that I felt 4e did well, that would be really great. [/QUOTE]
