[QUOTE="Engilbrand, post: 3863217, member: 44184"] I'm 25. I started playing D&D my freshman year at college. I've been reading the Drizzt books since 7th grade. I view 4E as finally being what I've wanted. I LOVED the last few books for 3.5. Magic of Incarnum, the Warlock, the Binder and the Bo9S were all phenomenal. I also love Avatar: the Last Airbender and different cartoons like that. I want my games to be more interesting. I think that the Lord of the Rings (books) are ridiculously boring. Then again, he only created them as a setting for a language, so I'm not surprised. The movies were good, though. Getting back to Drizzt and Wulfgar: The characters in these books are impressive. Truly. They can do outrageous things and seemingly go forever. I'd like to point something out in regards to Salvatore's books, though. He never had a main character who was a spellcaster. Ranger, barbarian, fighter, archer. Classes that could go all day. What could they do? A ton of impressive things. 4E seems like it's finally going to make it so that you can actually do the sorts of things that they do in the books. I'd be willing to be that he also creates a main character who joins the group who is a Wizard or something. Spellcasters will no longer be minor characters used to move the plot along. He'll be able to include Chico Harpell, the great-great grandson of Harkel Harpell, a Wizard who can go all day and meaningfully add to the party in an interesting and exciting way. (Made up character). I look forward to the new edition precisely because it's what I grew up reading. While the main characters can constantly demolish things, they have their moments of greatness. Richard Rahl has his moments of super magic. Rand al'Thor has his moments of channeling doom. Wulfgar has his moments where he headbutts a dragon to get away. Avatar can't just sit there and crash waves forever onto a city, but he can definitely do a massive one and then smaller ones every now and then. That's why I'm looking forward to 4E as a 25 year old. Anyone else excited about the Avatar: the Last Airbender movie? Anyone want to see it as a game system? [/QUOTE]
