[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 3706101, member: 14159"] Never? I could live with that. There are still plenty of players playing 1st edition AD&D and that have never upgraded. I even know a few second-generation 1e players taught by their parents. I don't plan to ever upgrade at this point, I've got enough 3.x material to game for the rest of my life, and the people I play with aren't D&D hardcore fans who would probably bother to upgrade either. Every 20 years? I could live with that too, it's generational, you learn 4th edition, your kids may well learn 5th, their kids might learn 6th, and so on. Every 10 years? That's the way D&D was before now! 1st Edition AD&D came out in 1978, 2nd Edition came out in 1989,and 3rd Edition came out in 2000. That's over a decade between main editions, now it's less than 10. I'd be complaining a lot less if they announced it at least 2 years from now so it would continue to be 10 years between editions. Why do we really need new editions? That's the $64,000 question. What is going to be in 4e that really makes it worth it? Electronic gimmicks? Flashy books? Removing some classes? [/QUOTE]
