Gamer Thought

4E's motto is "Never split the party."

I can't get over how sadly ironic that statement has become...

Yeah. I know. I think they meant

"Brainwash ALL your players for this shit."

Because the watch doesn't work when you remove a single cog?

More or less.

People still play that?

Sadly, yes.

I do not understand the fascination with 4e. It was a huge disappointment to me.

Totally, but about a 3rd of my gamers here have gone all "Emperor's New Clothes" with it.

Not all of us!

We those loyal few. The true.

We are splitting our time between 4e & 3.5 Pathfinder. I have to bite my tongue most of the time because I dislike it so much and don't want to bring everyone down with my complaints.

And the new minis... WTF! Fewer minis, lower quality, re-cycled previous models, & costs more money. And nucking fugly. What business model is WotC following? Not that their previous minis were the paragon of quality, but they were IMHO much, much better.

This all has me wondering if there was a management change several years ago that caused this downturn in overall quality.

I pretty much decided I'd purchased my last minis when I compared the Kuo-Toa from the 4.0 set to the last Kuo-Toa from the last 3.5 set. The reduction in quality was astounding.
