I don’t have anything against DnD 4e. In my opinion, it’s a big step up – a real evolution – from the 3rd edition rules.<\/p>\n
I don’t have anything against the folks in the monthly game of DnD 4e that I play in. They’re all decent enough folks.<\/p>\n
I like my character. I like the way my character works in play. I even like the storyline.<\/p>\n
But I’m done.\u00a0 I was at the game for eight hours on Saturday, not counting travel time, and we managed two fights and one scene that might nominally be deemed ‘role-play’ that ended becoming a player-discussion of the inherent morality (or lack thereof) of groups of adventures who categorize entire sentient peoples by racial stereotypes, then kill ’em and take their stuff.<\/p>\n
Fascinating, in a petri dish kind of way, but not what I signed on for, general.<\/p>\n
So I’m done.<\/p>\n
What shall I do instead?\u00a0 There’s a weekend writer group that invited me to join in, and I think I’ll do that.<\/p>\n
As for gaming in general, I think I’ll stick with things that produce a better fun to time ratio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
