Buy 4E if:You don't like what your doing now.Are looking to play an RPG and you can only find 4E games.You know, at first I was very upset about 4E.  I've been outside of mainstream D&D for several years now. 4E is just making me that much further outside of "D&D".Fortunately I now have my own games going with teh game I prefer to play.So now all 4E is to me is just another way to play a fantasy game. Its in the same company with GURPS, Paladium, HARP, Rolemaster, etc... Its another way to play a fantasy game, trying to find whatever it is you want to find in a fantasy game.4E is not what I want to find in a fantasy game. Simple as that. If you have similar feelings its OK. You'll still find your game, if you wish too.Obviously a large number of 3E players and GM's secretly disliked/hated 3E and are now anxiously waiting to play the new game on the block. Hopefully they will find whatever it was they weren't getting out of 3E.Those of you still happy with 3E, keep playing. As long as its fun, who cares?4E caters to the "new crowd". They are the ones who will like 4E, because its new. Its different. It does things differently. Who knows? It may actually have superior mechanics. Still, it is not going to give everyone what they like or want out of a fantasy game.For those people, there is 3E. There is GURPS, there is HARP, True20, Rolemaster, older versions of D&D, or a system that can utilize all of them (mine). There are other things entirely.We just need to quit with all this attitude about "what I play is the best way to play!" It is, for you and hopefully your group. What I like isn't what everyone else likes, what is 4E isn't what I like, but is going to be liked by many.I have accepted this, and I think gamers in general should accept this as well, and stop with the "Mine is better than yours!" stuff. We are gamers. We play RPG's. We share a hobby. Thats all that matters.Lets game!</blockquote>
