[QUOTE="Shadeydm, post: 4520810, member: 44243"] Well that was quite a read. To the OP: you are not alone in the feeling of being left behind by the current direction of the game. FWIW I am 40 and have played and DMed every edition since ADnD. I own the core 4E set mainly because of how deeply discounted it was on Amazon but also out of curiosity. I have played about 8-10 4E sessions as a player and they were all fun and yes they all felt like playing DnD perhaps a very different flavor of the game but still DnD. Since the group is pretty pumped about 4E it looks like the game I will be playing for the forseeable future but I doubt I will ever run the game or buy anymore books. In the end I both enjoy the style of, and respect the skills of the other DMs in the group so I am sure things will continue to be fun. I doubt WotC intentionally left us behind, instead I believe they remade the game in an image that they believed would have as wide an appeal as they could. Not a conspiracy just a way to make more money which is what they get paid to do in the end. Personally, I just hope they find a way to bring those left behind back into the fold. Who knows, perhaps with the next edition. Either way just keep playing DnD and having fun with your friends after all thats really what its all about anyways. [/QUOTE]
