Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lanefan" data-source="post: 3786891" data-attributes="member: 29398">My biggest concerns about 4e: - That the DI will ultimately end up killing the tabletop game and taking its stuff - what is supposed to be a tool for playing the game ends up becoming the game - That with 3 new core rulebooks a year the game system will never settle down long enough to play a decent-length campaign using current rules-as-written without having to change on the fly all the time - That yet again no rules consideration will be given to running long (5+ year) campaigns - PC power creep - if a party of 6 4th-level 4e PCs can obliterate a party of 6 4th-level 1e PCs 99 times out of 100 that's power creep, particularly if the same happens at every other level as well - That too much flavour and quirkiness will be lost in the name of efficiency and streamliningMy biggest hopes (yes, I have some!) for 4e: - That the DM regains her role as authority at her table, and such is clearly spelled out in the core books right from day 1 - That the rules are clearly noted as guidelines only, on which any DM can build or alter as she sees fit - That the points-of-light setting ideal is held to throughout, rather than having each new release develop more and more points until all that's left is light (I'm looking at you, FR) - That the release can re-invigorate gaming as a hobby the way 3e's release did - That it is still recognizable as D+D, whatever that may require*edit* - oh yeah, and STR-INT-WIS-DEX-CON-CHA in that bleepin' order! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Lanefan</blockquote>
