[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 5984984, member: 463"] As a player, I like getting to make interesting decisions in combat, especially when playing a Fighter. I think 4e is really 'Fighter edition D&D' - they finally made my preferred class the coolest class. :D As a GM, prep is easy in terms of stat blocks and encounters, though open/sandbox play can be a challenge. I like the 'Big Damn Heroes' feel, where the odds are usually with the PCs, and random death is rare - it's good for a more relaxed approach to play - less Fantasy Effin Vietnam. It's great for playing with players who are not committed min-maxers, although the design is also good for accommodating powergamers - it's much harder to 'break' than 3e. I'm running 4e Forgotten Realms and have found that the ruleset fits the setting very well, I think it's probably closer to the way Ed Greenwood ran FR than you would get from running 1e or 3e D&D by-the-book.
