You can. Go on a forum like ENWorld and tell them how much better 4e is than 3.5e/Pathfinder based on copy/pasted :goonsay: posts. You won't even need to learn a single rule and you will make nerds extremely angry.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.
Wimps, please. Everyone knows that the highest point of fun in the post 3.X world is to make the most broken character ever then never play it and spend all your days talking about elfgames online.

the same campaign, at paragon tier the party ended up going in two different directions and picking up some other folks based on it so one party plays on one day and the other on the other. so we have covered a Lot of gaming ground in the same campaign basically

So, what games are everyone in/running right now?

I'm running a DW short campaign that will end next week set in the Xcrawl universe. I'm in a 13th Age game that started out as just mailmen and is now turning into a pirate themed thing (or atleast gang themed considering how we turned into a brigade of wizard bashers). I'm also in a FATE game that is emulating XCOM.

a 13th age game that started off as a seafaring/pirate thing last campaign and is now a new world colony thing after a timeskip, a numenera game to appease specific people that i am near my wits' end with even after considerable tweaks (i switch off dming/playing with one guy every other week and we are both arriving at that conclusion)

what I like about 13th age is that it doesn't give a gently caress about noncombat rolls. Yeah here roll a thing, if you fail it won't get in the way. GM, make something up who gives a gently caress if it's good. Oh boy a fight, this is what I'm here for.
