[QUOTE="Aqua Vitae, post: 4297365, member: 53708"] [b]Yes...[/b] Hi, Turanil. First of all, I just wanted to say that I read your review of Troll Lords game system, Castles & Crusades. I actually just purchased the PHB and M&T, having downloaded the "condensed" PDF and liked it. I love 3.5, especially its multi-classing system, but I won't be going back to D&D in the foreseeable future. The 4th edition of the game has left me with a sour taste in my mouth. I have fantasies of sending a Demon Lord to brutally murder fledgling Dragonborn PCs in the most humiliating manner. Seriously, I find its approach very distasteful. The artwork, especially the cover artwork, I find sub-standard. I don't like anime-style art for my fantasy games. I was wholly unaware that the being on the cover of the MM was Orcus until I saw the entry. The mult-classing system is horribly wanting. It's not even a multi-classing system, in fact. It's mult-dabbling. The "fact" that the 3.5 system was broken is not a positive argument for 4E's rules. Who cares if there are some DMs so permissive that they'd allow for a Troll Paladin/Cleric/Knight of the Chalice/Cavalier/Knight Protector? There are IC and OOC mechanisms to prevent abuse, unless you're the sort of DM who sits perfectly quiet, allowing players to pour through every single book, drooling over every new feat or prestige class. I won't ever be making the journey into 4E. I am a DM no longer. I...am...a...Castle Keeper! [/QUOTE]
