[QUOTE="Jhaelen, post: 7552995, member: 46713"] After D&D (4e) I've been playing FFG's Star Wars, 13th Age and Pathfinder. Of the three, I think I enjoy Star Wars the most and Pathfinder the least. Star Wars somehow has just the right mix of mechanics and narrative elements for my taste. We've only played one-shots, though, not a real campaign, so I cannot say how well it works with high-level characters. Pathfinder constantly reminds me why I stopped playing D&D 3e, except it's even worse: Trying to figure out how some of the rules are really supposed to work is a real chore. It's lots of book-keeping for very little fun. Thankfully we started early to house-rule the system, adopting some of the things that were great in 4e, like simplified movement and quick healing. I'm not sure yet how much I enjoy 13th Age. It's awesome on paper, but it doesn't always translate into great game sessions. Maybe it's also a problem with my group, though, who are almost all new to RPGs. It very much feels like D&D 4e 'lite'. [/QUOTE]
