I was crushed when I first opened those 4E manuals. I figured I'd give it a try anyway. We did. It wasn't good. As a gamer of over 25 years I was very sad when I shelved those books and took down my 3.5 ones again. I tried 4E and I’m already back to 3.5. I was crushed when I first opened those 4E manuals.

Just kidding brudda. I found this entry very entertaining, good job. I have dabbled as a DM but find I enjoy playing more than storytelling. So I give my perspective from the player side. As a player I found myself going through all those same emotions. While my investment isn't near what yours is, it is still significant. I have shelves and shelves of supplements from AD&D, 3.0 and 3.5. As I was telling Randy's mistress yesturday, as mature gamers our games are/were around a 70/30 split... 70% role play, 30% rolling dice. It really shouldn't matter which system we use as long as it don't get in the way of the story. It needs to make some kind of sense to be able to suspend disbelief just a little. I guess thats my way of saying as a player i'm at the acceptance stage. Then again all I have to buy is a PHB. I can say now that the chances of me running a 4.0 game are slim to none... THAC0 ftw =P Apis Terrible, horrible, less blogging more gaming! Just kidding brudda. I found this entry very entertaining, good job.

We'll see if I like it or not. If not, well then I've invested a ton of money into 3.5, so I'll be sticking with that. But I think I'll still try to keep up with 4e so I can converse with people who are 4e players. I recently had a guest 2.0 player in my party and he had no idea what was going on and kept trying to call me out on stuff. <em>Kimmie's last blog post..<a href='http://ggkimmiegal.com/?p=46' rel="nofollow">Metagaming</a></em> Like you, I’m ready to accept 4e.
