[QUOTE="Myrhdraak, post: 6621592, member: 6694190"] When 4th Edition came out I felt that it was too big a change to easily convert my old Campaign World to 4th Edition. As I had just got my second child we put that old game on hold, and have played 4th Edition "out-of-the-box" for 7 years now, running the H1 to E3 adventures. However, it is first now when WotC ends the edition that I feel it has reached a maturity that allows me to recreate the players and my old World in 4th Edition. However, having seen 5th Edition I can see a lot of the non-combat parts that I find very good, so I have actually started to put together my own 4.5 version, using the combat parts from 4th edition and non-combat parts from 5th Editon. This is a 6 month project, but I have so far made some good progress: - 4.5 Edition Combat Rules Compendium adding bounded accuracy concept into 4th Edition as well as some conditions from 5th Edition - 4.5 Edition Character Compendiums where I have gathered all 4th Edition material and errate related to a particular class into one document, with some 5th edition non-combat flavors. The Wizard compendium is for example a 212 pages document, but then it has all related powers, paragon paths and epic destinies in one document, for easy player reference. - 4.5 Edition Character Background Compendium merging the 4th edition character themes with the 5th edition character background concepts, which has really brought forward the roleplaying aspects back into 4th edition. - 4.5 Edition Race Compendium with all 4th Edition race related rules into one document, with the 5th edition flavor text. I really like the combination, and as I will focus on mainly using non-4th edition adventures, I believe I get the best from two Worlds (the H1-E3 series was too combat-centric, and I feel we have lost some of the roleplaying aspects just due to this fact). I have also redesigned the 4th Edition character sheets to fit my World but also my own 4.5 Edition rules. I am attaching one such character so you can see the concept and compare it to traditional 4th Edition [URL="http://web.comhem.se/mwester/Shared/Bilder/Sardoc_Public.pdf"]<Download>[/URL]. With all these changes I feel I have the Edition I want to play in the future and can freely borrow from both 5th Edition and 4th Edition going forward. /Myrhdraak [/QUOTE]
