[QUOTE="Lord Mhoram, post: 3884273, member: 4789"] This is going to come off a little strange but here goes.... I stopped played D&D a few years ago - when I did some game-style and mostly mechanical analysis and figured out exactly what D&D (in any incarnation) was giving me that I didn't get from other Fantasy RPGs. I get roleplaying and great character moments from every game I play, so it had to be mechanical. I like feats, I like class abilities, I like myriad of classes, I like a lot of the spells. For me, I really liked the "laundry list" of abilities and choices that I could get from D&D. I enjoyed all the monsters, really interesting ideas that you didn't find anywhere else (I have an entire shelf of D&D monster books - something like 30 hardcovers and as many soft). Now years ago I knew that I loved the look and feel (and style) of Rolemaster's magic system. I play Hero, pretty much exclusively. I played D&D until the above analysis, and I started converting over all the stuff I liked about D&D into Fantasy Hero (just as I had used the Hero system to build a version of the Rolemaster spell system for my game). So with all that preamble - I am really looking forward to 4th for the interesting ideas they bring to gameplay, to see what kind of things I like, and can add to my current Fantasy Hero game to make it better - whether it is about combat framing, or class ideas, or just a nifty feat, class ability or spell that I can use. :) So there is your positivity - a guy that doesn't even play D&D anymore looking forward to 4E. :) [/QUOTE]
