(We had 1e players that hated everything 2e, even though they'd never used any. I got them to do 1d10 for init after much debating...)Compare that to Shadowrun. I went from 1e to 2e, everyone was behind the change and it was still easier to simply restart rather than update campaigns. In addition, you had to wait for reprinting of material that you'd already had. Same with 2e to 3e, the game stagnated while FASA cranked out updated material in leiu of advancing the world, partly a problem with their slow releases. By the time FanPro was releasing SR4, I hated their material so much I had already left.D&D's supplements are a bit more supplemental, so it doesn't hurt as much IMO. Sure you might need a specific thing ("when will they update my Sacred Fist for 4e!) but rarely are there entire subsystems you need to redo.</blockquote>
