Our group only meets every other week and it takes forever to run something like Shackled City or the new FR trilogy. I know this isn't WotC's problem; it's mine. So if 4E can solve problem 3 above, my life will probably be better, but I will be much more selective... MUCH more selective... about what support materials I buy from them for 4th and I have a feeling I won't be alone. The poster who said he buys about 3 books a year is right... for the last few years. But when 3E came out, I was buying stuff right and left for a couple of years. I for one won't be making that mistake again and if a significant number of gamers feel the same way, 4E isn't going to be nearly as profitable as 3E was for them... much more profitable than the last two years? Surely, but I doubt that is their goal.</blockquote>
