Played D&D at the Borders in Torrance and it was awesome! Super cool group and it was only about 2.5hrs which is a nice time. The "encounters" games are pretty hardcore railroaded because you need to be at the same place for the next weeks session, but it scratched the rpg itch pretty well. Can't wait to do some more! 4e was nice. A lot of stuff is streamlined (saving throws are super simple now, 10+ you pass) and it jammed along at a great pace. Making characters is pretty hardcore but I got the offline character builder which makes it all super easy. There's a ton of different builds you can use. Fun!
