[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 3862681, member: 10177"] I like Dragonball Z, Air Bender, Full Metal Alchemist, and others. I don't like 3E, and I am not going to like 4E. Why? Because I simply want "simple". I want a system that gets the job done and doesn't over do it. Thats why I don't like 3E and why I'm not going to like 4E. I've found/gone back to what is fun for me. So I'll continue to buy 3E (recently bought a couple of Goodman products and PAizo products) and will likely buy a bit of 4E. Why? Because they will give me new ideas for rules and ways to incorporate cool ideas and flavors. So I like the ideas, the fluff, even some of the rules. I just don't like the complexity. So I am kind of sad that I won't be into the "newest" version of D&D anymore as a system. But I will be into it for ways to use good ideas, which I will likely get from modules most of the time. So I don't "hate" 3E and 4E, its simply that I don't like the level of complexity. Much like how many used to complain about GURPS being too complex. GURPS isn't a bad system, just not one I like. I still bought a lot of the books though. They had tons of good ideas and in them. So 4E will just be a new GURPS to me. I'll know how to play it. Mostly it will just be another source of cool ideas for me to use in another system. A simpler system that gets the job done the way I like it. I guess the best comparison I can make is that my situation is its the same as when you and a good friend are going separate ways. Like when I left Charleston a couple of years ago, and left a lot of good people. People I will likely never see again. Thats the kind of feeling I get from my going a different way than 3E or 4E. Still, just like how I love living here in Arizona, I love the gaming I am doing. So now 3E and 4E are like long distance friendships that you keep going because its too painful to let go. For me. I'm glad for all of you who are moving to the new state of 4E. Part of me wishes I could make the move with you. I just know that my gaming happiness resides in a different direction, but I will be keeping in touch and up to date. [/QUOTE]
