Who plays Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition in here?

[DevinNight]

I play once a week... I'm on the fence as to if I really like it as opposed to 3.5. I think combat can be very time consuming.

[Gamerprinter]

Of course I'm a Pathfinder/3.5 gamer as stated many times. I don't play 4e, but am working at building a site that specializes in making all types of maps, especially 4e. I've been playing D&D since 1977, so all editions but 4e - as well as plenty of other game systems: Traveler, Space Opera, Twilight 2000, Paranoia, HOL, Runequest, and several others.

Joined I'm a noob at 4e, but running a game anyway, and having a blast. I really like what they've done with it.

I run a 4e game, though previous to that I mostly played 2nd and original. I took several years off

My first D&D game was 4e and I started DMing a few months back now. I'm really enjoying it and I'm finding that I can take all sorts of ideas and apply them with relative ease (i.e. Snakes on a Plane and a RPG day Legends of the Five Rings Mod).

I've played all incarnations of D&D as well, but it seems the group I play with has settled nicely in 3.5 and wont get out until we are poked with a very large stick and that just doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon. Personally I'd like to play more Exalted and Vampire (without the LARP, no offense to any LARPers).

In my opinion 4e plays more as a tactial board game than a RPG (not that there is anything wrong with that). Hence given all my RP is pbp, it doesn't really appeal, hence I play a mixture of 3.5 and pathfinder

I will absolutely agree that there are a lot more tactics to combat in 4e - but isn't combat tactics ... I feel its so much more fun than stepping up to an enemy and exchanging blows until someone goes down. And in addition to that people tend to focus on 4e is = boardgame or computergame. But yes, the combat has changed, but the roleplayings stays the same like in all games - good or bad rules. It is the GM/Players that define a game - not rules

I've been running a very sporadic 4e game for about a year now, and I'm playing in IG's PbP on EN World. That one is actually moving more quickly than I had anticipated. When we're on the ball, it's not much slower than the Rifts game I used to run on an old BBS. It will probably slow down as the encounters get more complex, of course, but I'm still pleasantly surprised at the pace. 4e is fun, but it's got some peculiar limitations on character builds that I don't care for.

I like to jump from system to system, though. In the past four years, I've played Rolemaster, Wheel of Time, World of Darkness, Alternity, Traveler, Unknown Armies, 4e, 3.5, Sidewinder, Star Wars d6, and Ninjas & Superspies.

okay - I'm totally lost here... PbP, EN, BBS ... I have a guess on BBS being a bulletin board thing?
