[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4553071, member: 710"] I can see that, to some extent. But imagine you got me as a gamer in your group? Do you think it's fair that I have to play 3.5 if I'd rather play 4E (except 4E doesn't exist)? But maybe you couldn't even get me as a 3.5 player. Maybe you only could get me as a Shadowrun or Iron Heroes player. As a DM, I already switched to IH several months before the 4E announcement. There are two aspects here: 1) Just because 3.5 might still be the latest edition of D&D doesn't mean you will find players for it. It might still be a declining game. Many 4E fans got tired of 3E. Then there are others that play 3E and 4E - they would probably play 3E and maybe any other game if 4E didn't exist. Sure, 4E speeds up any potential decline, but wouldn't it still happen - and how far in the future are you planning for the worry of finding a potential player? 2) Some give me the impression that he would be better off if a 4E fan would still be playing 3E and be a potential player in his group. But why should a 4E have to "suffer" playing a system that doesn't match his priorities as well as 4E now does for another players sake? Isn't that wrong and unfair? Well, I suppose it beats not playing at all, but I could say the same thing for 3E players. [/QUOTE]
