[QUOTE="wlmartin, post: 5619772, member: 6679380"] 4e is to 3e what Windows Vista/7 is to Windows XP (not completely different but enough fluffy cuddly buttons and easy to use menus so that even a kid can operate them... frustrating for people that grew up in DOS but in the end, we all want an easier life) If WotC Devs came up and said ... right, its new edition time We arent using D20s now, its a D42 We dont use Elfs, Dwarfs or Halflings any more, its Duplos, Karminors and Hat-Hats We dont use Rogues, Wizards or Paladins now instead its Scallywags, Pointy-Hat Men and Crusaders We got rid of all the cool monsters --- now we have similar ones but they all have different spelled names They didnt, they took 3rd edition and made it better. I guess a lot of people are going to disagree and they have a good remedy for expressing themselves... not buying the books. After all if enough people boycott 4e books and gear then they won't go anywhere.. but no, its the most popular edition since D&D first came out - nevermind! I love D&D I have loved every edition that came along but just as I gave my Sega Master system up for a Mega drive and the mega drive up for a playstation (and the chain goes on lol!) I recognise when they made it better and ... they did! Are there things in 3e that we each love more than 4e... no doubt, the Devs can't cater for everyone but I think in the 3 years since it was released, they have done a good job to make it into the game it is now and I am only saddened that they arent getting their monies worth as a business and have to resort to making board games instead of minis and new core books but that is upto them, we are their audience and as much as we want to change the plot of our fav. tv shows... we have to go with the flow until they get cancelled and move on to the next big show (Dollhouse - gone before its time! - RIP Alpha!) I think I am going to have to block my browser from showing me this page or bribe an Admin to lock it because its never going to stop... [/QUOTE]
