Ha, this was my experience with D&D as well

This was also my experience with D&D. Reading the books is great. Playing the game doesn't work so well.

I wasn't a big fan of the 4th edition pivot to "if we have one goal in printing these, it's that nobody will ever read one of our books for pleasure".
