That's around the time 4th Ed came out, so I bought it on the offchance I found a new group down here.<br /><br />I've never been so disappointed with a set of rules or with a book! <br /><br />The 3.5 rulebooks were beautiful and a genuine pleasure to read, but even my scornful, non-playing friends thought the new one looked cheap, tacky and nasty. It does.<br /><br />I don't like the ruleset either, which doesn't help.<br /><br />Some great ideas here though: nice one!Admiral Draxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476823273954165890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-79070614590498124652009-07-10T14:51:26.912+01:002009-07-10T14:51:26.912+01:00Biglee,

The interesting thing is if new adventures join the group later they will "see" and "deal" with the lasting effects the veteran players have had happen to them on previous adventures.jmezz382https://www.blogger.com/profile/03324832418577291106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-3002652471428002422009-07-10T14:22:46.201+01:002009-07-10T14:22:46.201+01:00I just checked on Wikipedia, and have discovered t...I just checked on Wikipedia, and have discovered that we are, in fact, playing AD&D rather than 2nd edition, as I had thought... it has been a while!BigRedBathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622983082204451158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-59432752746598749902009-07-10T14:10:44.524+01:002009-07-10T14:10:44.524+01:00Thank for that.

Once I'm up to speed with 2e, I’ll have a read of 3e and mull over whether to shift up.BigRedBathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622983082204451158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-76301926317078404732009-07-10T12:58:18.094+01:002009-07-10T12:58:18.094+01:00As a player I'm still uncomfortable with 4E.

I feel that a lot of improvements were built into 4E but a whole new set of complications were also created. <br /> <br />I'm an 'old school' role-player and I still feel "simpler is better". I don't subscribe to the idea that players need endless powers and build options (and dozens of rule book supplements) in order to enjoy an adventure.<br /><br />Is 4th edition it better than 3e? I'm not entirely convinced. Even after a year of playing I remain sceptical. I don't think 3.5e was so broken it needed to be replaced with an entire new edition. I am convinced however that the 'need' for 4e was a commercial decision, and that does not necessarily equal an improvement in the system. Read into that what you will!BigLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00960213980906190335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-21174832305994402632009-07-10T09:35:21.369+01:002009-07-10T09:35:21.369+01:00I try to leave my players emotionally scarred. ;-...I try to leave my players emotionally scarred. ;-)<br /><br />So what do you reckon to D&D4? I'm still D&D2; didn't like the look of D&D3 (too complicated for me).BigRedBathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622983082204451158noreply@blogger.com
