[QUOTE="Dungeoneer, post: 5451050, member: 91777"] System familiarity will help. My current table needs an hour-and-change to get through a standard 4e encounter. But they're new to it and spend a lot of time figuring out their powers. I expect it will speed up as they get more experienced. I don't find that other rules questions crop up that much personally, since 4e is pretty systematic and even when I don't have the answer to a rules question memorized I can usually guess the answer pretty accurately. A good idea is just to make a ruling, move on with the game, and check it later. TBH though there is a certain minimum threshold for complex systems. 4e and 3.x D&D both feature extensive and intricate rulesets. Even with extensive system mastery there's probably a limit to how much you can speed up your game using them. If you really prefer a faster, less rules-intensive game experience you should seriously look at alternative game systems. There are definitely more lightweight ones out there. [/QUOTE]
