Just to start this blog off with a bang:

Role-playing is just as possible in D&D 4th Edition as it is in 3.5, or any other role-playing game.

Yes, there are more things to keep track of. The mechanics are more complex, and require more thought.

But if that truly keeps you from role-playing, how good of a role-player are you? I mean no disrespect in this; I'm honestly asking the question.  Can't a good role-player play his or her role no matter how many rules are in the system?

Because ultimately, no matter how many dice are rolled and no matter how many rules you may look up, you're still standing back and describing the action. You're still deciding what to do. You're still winking at the other players, putting on a fake accent, and running with an idea.

Aren't you?
