a question that I get asked weirdly
0:02
often is why I never really got into
0:04
fourth edition DND as a longtime
0:07
character Optimizer it's a system that
0:08
seems like it would really appeal to me
0:11
there's deep character optimization
0:13
there's a lot of fun to be had there and
0:15
building characters could be very very
0:18
edition but I never really stuck to the
0:21
game and honestly I tried I tried really
0:25
really hard to like fourth edition I
0:28
went to the in-person releasee of event
0:30
in Seattle this is an ice archon
0:33
miniature which they handed out to
0:35
players who attended the event I have a
0:37
t-shirt hidden in a closet somewhere
0:39
that's full of holes from my cat now but
0:42
I still have it I went to that event I
0:45
gave fourth edition a serious chance I
0:48
tried to play it for like a year
0:50
straight I could never get a game to
0:52
stick as much fun as it was to build
0:55
characters in fourth edition actually
0:58
playing the game got stale pretty
1:00
quickly and a lot of the combat
1:02
encounters were just really really dry
1:05
hit point attrition fights now I know
1:08
the game improved quite a bit past the
1:12
core rules but I couldn't get my other
1:15
players to stick around long enough to
1:17
see that happen so we gave fourth
1:19
edition a really good honest try and
1:22
then we bounced off to Pathfinder
