I just wish I could play more 4e, rather than just homebrew for it. I remember one time I nearly cried when a guy was starting this fantastic-sounding campaign using material from my blog, and I was so excited for him, then he said I couldn't join because I knew too much about it. I wanted to hurt him. I agree entirely with Jonathan. I just wish I could play more 4e, rather than just homebrew for it.

Our battles are fast, strategy is important BUT I play the "anything is possible" card all the time and the results are cinematic (and recently, unfortunately for the player, deadly) game play. Now that I've finally begun to get a solid handle on how to run so-called "skill challenges" (make them a seemless part of gameplay, the players dont even know they are in one, etc) the roleplaying and scenarios play out just the way they did in my early gaming days (fun!). We are having a blast with 4E - and we are running a homebrew / 1E AD&D modules / 3E FRCS combo campaign.

Yep, there's a lot of modules out there that deserve to not be forgotten, that's for sure. Right now, I'm more about Castles & Crusades than 4e, but whatever folks play (including the original intended system itself), its always good to hear of folks getting some use out of them.
