[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 6093204, member: 42582"] Agreed. That's why, upthread (post 99) I said "some 4e players will have excellent reasons for not enjoying D&Dnext". 4e has a range of different features, and could be fun or appealing for a whole lot of reasons. My posts in this thread are mostly picking up on one particular feature which is very important to me, namely, 4e's approach to pacing, resource management and associated GM force. I don't see any sign of Next delivering in this respect. Whereas, from your post, it sounds like what your 4e players mostly like is the intricate PC-building. Clearly this is something on which Next can deliver. Which sounds like a good result for you!
