[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 3747186, member: 114"] I'd love to get in on the playtesting, but don't expect it will happen to me (but you never can tell. Hope springs eternal etc. etc) While waiting for 4e I won't be running any D&D at all. I'll be either continuing my Starguild OGL campaign (sci-fi), or continuing with my RuneQuest 2 Eberron conversion and running that. I probably wouldn't have gone back to running *any* D&D if it wasn't for the 4e news, so against my expectations they have planned it at exactly the right time for me. :) So far, I love everything I've heard about it. Wizards having some 'use all day' powers? check. Martial types having neat manouvres? check. Better encounter design? Check. (I love the idea of saying 'I want this encounter to be worth 4000xp, so I'll have three of those, two of these and one of them". Gets rid of several layers of basically unnecessary maths). SWSE is chock-full of goodness - new ideas that don't just add another veneer on the surface pretty much all supplements have, but really changes the underpinnings. I'm really quite excited about the possibilities of a 'root and branch' revision of D&D, and I hope it will breathe as much new life into the hobby as the 3e launch did. If I was involved in playtesting, I'd not want to run a campaign - rather I'd want to do a whole bunch of episodic sessions, with different characters at different levels and in different situations. Get each player to create a 'stable' of characters at various levels, and mix and match PCs for particular adventures. Cheers [/QUOTE]
