[QUOTE="Gothmog, post: 4325641, member: 317"] Gotta agree with you guys- the more I play 4e, the better it is. We just had an 8 hour gaming session last night, and its the best gaming I've had in the last 10 years! Things move very quickly, combats are deadly and dynamic, and there is almost NO referencing the core books during the game. We made up power cards for each person with all the relevant info on them, and find it very easy to keep track of conditions during the combats. We haven't had any problem with skill challenges either- I'm not exactly sure why some people think they don't work. The DM just has to use good judgement and be fair during them. The group I DM and the group I'm playing in have also found the roleplaying to be of MUCH better quality than what we experienced under 3e. I'm not sure why this is- maybe because the rules are more transparent and not in the foreground like they were in 3e, but we're having a blast with it. These are all guys I gamed with in 3e as well, and they went from stat-obsessed powermongers in 3e to actually ROLEPLAYING their character and acting according to his personality rather than optomizing or taking the most advantageous action. I know two guys and one young lady in the group I DM say they feel less constrained by the rules in 4e than they did in 3e, so take that for what its worth. [/QUOTE]
