[QUOTE="delericho, post: 4472470, member: 22424"] 3e didn't cause a schism, and 4e won't. The current plan for our group is to wrap up our current WFRP game, then for me to run three 4e stand-alone adventures (probably at 1st, 5th and 12th level), and then see how we feel. The dominant expectation in the group is that it's probably not for us: I have deep doubts about the game, and my players are rather less receptive to it than even myself. That said, I am determined to at least give the game a [i]fair[/i] assessment. If the group collectively like the game, we'll play it going forward; if not then we won't. No big deal. (If it's split down the middle, it's probably my call - I mostly have carte blanche when selecting the games I'm going to run.) The game that looks like being a little problematic is Star Wars Saga Edition, which is slated as the system for our next full campaign (after the 4e trial). Myself and three of the players have been looking forward to it for some time, but we've just had a new player join the group who really hates Star Wars d20, and has indicated that he'd rather sit out this campaign. That's fair enough, he said he'd be back for the game after that - but I'm not 100% certain I wouldn't prefer not to have a player sitting out for what is likely a matter of some months. For the moment, I'm hopeful he might be persuaded to at least give the system a chance. [/QUOTE]
