Fears of 4e
This post over at Critical Hits really struck a chord with me. Not because it reminded me of my group’s adoption of 3rd edition. We actually had quite the opposite reaction. For years, we had been playing 1st edition with some 2nd edition tacked on. We only had two Player’s Handbooks, and most of our books were in rough shape. Most of our materials were treated as carefully as the Dead Sea Scrolls.
When 3rd Edition hit, and we saw how good it was, we all bought a copy. Finally, we had enough PHB’s for everyone. It was joyous. There was some initial resistance to 3.5, but after seeing the improvements it made, and the broken things it fixed (remember 3.0 Rangers, anyone?), we eBay’d our 3.0 books and upgraded.
Now, in a little over a month, I am going to try to run my group’s first 4e game.
