[QUOTE="JediSoth, post: 3718553, member: 13882"] SHARK pretty much summed it up for me: I just don't feel like 3.5 has outlived its usefulness. I have enough material left for at least 4-5 campaigns, and I haven't run across many rules that are so blatantly broken that they ruin the game (though the Orb spells come close for me...solution: ban those particular spells). The problems I have with 3.5 are not enough for me to declare it a system in need of a new edition at this point. Not to mention the fact that I've been bombarded (prior to GenCon) with a lot of talk that 4E was still YEARS away and would definitely not be announced at GenCon in 2007. I understand some people were under an NDA until the big announcement, but lying to cover it up just leaves a bad taste in a mouth that already tasted funky following the cancellation of Dragon and Dungeon. So, I'll probably end up a 3.5 grognard (though AE is my game of choice these days), but one who'll probably buy 4E just to be familiar enough with it to play at GenCon. Who knows, maybe it'll be ultra-compatible with 3.5 and totally rock my socks. It's too early to tell. On the other hand, if enough people don't switch and there's still a market for 3.5 compatible stuff, someone will publish it. JediSoth [/QUOTE]
