[QUOTE="Ahnehnois, post: 5788511, member: 17106"] Honestly, I think those kinds of individual differences will remain. I don't think it's a trivial divide. At least from my perspective, if someone looked at 4e and didn't immediately reject it, that person was almost certainly not going to be happy with my heavily houseruled 3.X game, and the style underlying it. None of my group had any interest in it, but there were individuals that we considered joining up with who went their separate way because of edition preferences. Everything I've heard secondhand about 4e players and online in places like this (I'll admit I've never met one in person) suggests to me that they're playing a very different game for a very different reason than I am (and I'm positing myself as a stand-in for the 3.X community as a whole). Even if we were using the same rules, our styles would still be different. And frankly, I run my game my way, as most people do. Life's too short to spend trying to please everyone, so I such focus on my people and my game. Would a 4e player be welcome at my table? Only if that person accepted my rule system and my setting and my style, the same bar I'd set for any new member. [/QUOTE]
