[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 8185117, member: 6785785"] I’ll admit to not getting all of that out of 4e. I’m sure it’s largely because I only played it for a while. I also expect that I likely wasn’t doing everything as described by the rules so much as I thought they were meant to be used. I’m sure I was mistaken on a lot of it, simply trying to do things as they had been done in prior editions. There was quite a lot I liked about 4e as a GM. Skill challenges and monster stat blocks and minions and the way enemies were tiered. There were some drawbacks as well, but quite a bit I liked. On the player side there was less I liked. My group enjoyed it for a bit, but I think the novelty wore off. They asked to move over to Pathfinder, and I agreed. A move I now regret because Pathfinder for me was....ugh. It was a slow spiral down into everything I had come to hate about gaming. I wish that I had either stuck with 4e and tried to get a better handle on it (based on what people have said since it went away) or else taken the opportunity to just move to a new game entirely.
