As the number of posts I've tagged as D&D shows, I love Dungeons and Dragons. What you may or may not know is that I'm passively interesting in DMing. To be more accurate I'm very interesting in campaign building and telling a story but am very intimidated to actually get somewhere with it. Part of that intimidation comes from not knowing the rules as well as many of my fellow D&D players. Recently, however, I've been looking at 4th Edition D&D rules. And while I still have some doubts about the system so far from what I've read in the Player's Handbook and the Dungeon Master's Guide and the D&D podcasts I mentioned earlier this Blogust, I'm really liking the streamlining of the rule. This might be because I'm not a rules person and don't have a ton of devotion to any of the older systems, but 3.5 had way too many supplements and too many options in a lot of cases. So, I'm learning 4E so that I can try it out, because whether the game comunity likes it or not this is what's being current;y supported.
That and I'm absolutly loving building an entire world from the ground up. Yesterday I was working on the calendar and it was nice because I could make it as convenient as I damn well pleased. 28, 29, 30, or 31 days in a month? Bah! Mine have 25. Made of 5 weeks with 5 days a piece. Its kinda therapeutic to my OCC tendencies.
