[QUOTE="GoodKingJayIII, post: 4275949, member: 13804"] While it's a pretty different game than 3rd edition, I can't say that I believe anything is inherently wrong with the system. Is there broken stuff? Yes. Is there stuff that's not so good? Yes. Is it a more streamlined system? Yes. Was there stuff left out? Sure. Was new stuff inserted? Yep. I think the important thing to ask is: "Does 4th edition achieve its design goals?" That one I can't answer, but many folks who have run it and played it seem to think "yes." I also get the distinct impression that many feel that there is not enough distance between 3rd edition and 4th. 2nd AD&D was released in... what? The late 80s? 3rd edition came out in 2000. And unlike AD&D, there were still books being released for 3rd edition up to 6 months ago. So I get the feeling many people have not reached the sense of closure with 3rd edition that they might've had with 2nd. That's just my feeling, though. [/QUOTE]
