System Shock

So, Jetse ran his 1st 4th Ed session yesterday - regretfully, I missed it (had a hangover day instead), but I'm sure he'll have more to say. I was going to play a dagger-throwing ranger ^^ Reports I've heard from people playing sounded good though.

In the meantime, I'm just stuck in between systems - there's too many I like. This happens so frequently in my case. I get into 3rd Ed, and just when I want to start running something, discover Monte Cook's Arcana Evolved. I want to start running Arcana Evolved, and get into Iron Heroes. That's awesome, and I invest a lot of time in an IH project... then Monte puts out his first Book of Experimental Might, with a promise of a follow up BoXM too!. I'm in the middle of a big BoXM based campaign, based on Lame Mage's Western Marches idea (google Ars Ludi, it's one of the best pen and paper rpg blogs around). So, of course, right on time to distract me, 4th comes out.

I'm considering a new, efficient DM'ing system where I just pick a system and ignore everything else, because currently, while I learn alot, its really distracting.
