I'm back

You know, you could make more time by getting rid of that 4E stuff

Oh, I know what you mean. It sort of rots your brain!

I run into a couple of issues:
1. I have interest in 4E because my son wants to play it.
2. I have interest in 4E because Blackmoor has a 4E version.
3. I have frustration with 4E because of its rules-heaviness.

I ran a 4E game because I thought my group would hate it, but they like getting to do more stuff at 1st level. This led me down the slippery slope of trying to figure out how to "OD&D-ize" it, or at least simplify it a little. Somewhere along the line you realize just how time-consuming this process can be.

I have way too many 4E books and certainly will thin out my collection soon, but I don't want to get rid of anything and then wish I had it later. Pack rat.

That's part of what was driving me nuts. I just had to get away from it for a while.
