[QUOTE="ForeverSlayer, post: 5894169, member: 91812"] Something that I haven't seen mentioned here is the fact that we have gotten to a place in the world of D&D and editions that we have never been before. When a new edition comes out there are always hold outs no matter what. Now while there are hold outs, the game continues to roll on as it wades through the mud to eventually get somewhere. 4th edition has caused a legitimate company to come out and take on the previous edition and churn out a best seller. Vast amounts of gamers have said no to 4th edition and stuck with it. If the no crowd wasn't so large then Paizo would never have taken a chance with Pathfinder. The arguments are still as hot as they were the day 4th edition came out. All of this has also caused Wizards to actually cut the edition early to make room for another. Some of the die hard 4th edition fans that are in denial really need to stop and take a look at what has been going on and the ripple that it has caused. This is not an age of just a few holdouts and while we don't have exact numbers, all it takes is a look around to see that it must have been a lot. Now with the return of Monte I got really excited, for the first time since 3rd edition, and had high hopes for the next edition but now that has been shattered. I will of course take a look at the new edition but my hopes for it are actually zero which means, if it fails I won't be surprised and if it succeeds I will be happy. I'm not setting myself up for a disappointment like I got with 4th edition. [/QUOTE]
