[QUOTE="schekker, post: 5430151, member: 99368"] I am pretty much in the same boat as the original poster. I played AD&D in my younger years and this year started playing D&D again with my kids. I choose 4th edition and like the system. When Essentials came out I looked at it and liked what I saw, so most characters were transferred to Essentials ones. I also saw that Essentials screamed for future expansion books. I know there is a lot of speculation about the recent WotC announcements, but for my the conclusion is simple: They've stopped development of the Essentials line. As we want to start a new campaign after our current module is finished I am indeed left with the question what to do? Do I go with the Essential line, even though it has quite some stuff missing (basically the stuff in the cancelled books). Do I go back to the original 4 edition line and use that. Or is it time to switch? One additional reason for me to switch would be the availability of good modules. WotC hardly has any and from what I have read they are not really interested in it either. Third party support for 4e is lackluster at best, and from what I read with good reason. Problem with Pathfinder, as far as I can tell, is that as a system it will be less to my tastes. So yes, I am at least looking at other options, although I haven't made up my mind yet. [/QUOTE]
