Are you happy with your current game/edition?

[Philotomy Jurament]

Yes, I'm happy. Original D&D and 1e AD&D have me covered, as far as D&D goes. Then there's BRP/Runequest, Flashing Blades, Traveller, et cetera. The fact is, I've got RPGs that I own and *want* to play and don't have time for. The last thing I need is a new edition of D&D.

I'm currently happy with Pathfinder; however, I'm very curious and interested in 5e's development. Also, I would like WotC to pull off a win with this and achieve their design goals, because if they do, then it's compatibility with PF which I can see myself collecting in the future. At the very minimum, I will get the core set.

What I'm not happy with is Hungry Hungry Hippos. God, somebody update this game!

My group just finished Pathfinder: Kingmaker. We're also still in the midst of Pathfinder: Curse of the Crimson Throne and getting geared up for Pathfinder: Carrion Crown. Beyond that, we play some Pathfinder Society. We LOVE Pathfinder.

We also play and enjoy Legend of the Five Rings and Savage Worlds: Necessary Evil.

When I hook up with out of state friends (and at a lot of conventions), I play 4E, specifically LFR. I enjoy that too.

When 5E comes out, I'll buy the books, probably all of them. I'll play it at conventions, assuming there is a "living" campaign using the rules set. It might (strong emphasis on the word "might") see some play with my home group, but I'll be very surprised if it replaces Pathfinder as our system of choice.

My basic feeling is "The more, the merrier." That's why I chose "sort of happy."

To expand that a bit, I have played all the editions of D&D, but perhaps 3e/PF the most. That said, I see warts in all of them, and I'm sure I'll see warts in D&DNext and every other iteration of every RPG written, in process, or waiting out in the aether for someone else to translate into words.

I just like RPGs, in general, and see all sorts of pieces from all sorts of systems that I like. Eventually, I might just make my own heartbreaker. Gods only know how many times I've considered it.

 

[ShinHakkaider]

I'm happy with my game of choice which is Pathfinder.
D&D Next will have to be phenomenal for me to even pick up the core rules much less switch over to as my main system.

 

[SKyOdin]

I voted sort of happy.

I am playing 4E right now, and I think it is definitely a good game system. I would be content to play it for quite a while. However, no matter how good the rule system is, there is always room for improvement, I can think of a few places where 4E can be improved upon. So I am looking forward to 5E to see if it is a game that builds and improves upon 4E.

I'm quite happy with Pathfinder right now. If I wasn't, I wouldn't be running it. I'd be playing something else. It was good enough to replace 3.5 as my main D&D game.

I'm still curious about other systems and am interested in checking out D&DNext. But I'm usually interested in a game because it scratches an itch that's not currently being satisfied - M&M for my superhero itch, CoC for my horror itch, and so on. D&DNext would have to be really good to cause me to displace Pathfinder as my D&D backscratcher.

I voted that I am happy with my current game/edition (3.5E). Having said that, I'm still interested in seeing what 5E has to offer. If it makes for a more awesome game experience than my current game then I would be foolish to not even consider it.

The three major reasons I stuck with 3.5E when 4E came out were:

1. I had invested a lot of money in the 3.5E books and wanted to get as good a return on that investment as possible.
2. We were only a few months into the Shackled City AP. I knew it was going to take several years to get through (over 3 1/2 in the end) and I didn't want to switch editions mid-campaign.
3. My gaming group had gotten to the point where we knew the 3.5E rules fairly well, but hadn't "broken" the game. So, since we didn't have any major issues with the rules, there was no pressing need to switch.

By the time 5E comes out I would have gotten around another 5 years of use out of my 3.5E books. We will also probably be getting towards the end of the Age of Worms AP (about to start the campaign this month).

On top of that, my experience in running a high level game with the Shackled City AP was not as much fun as I expected. It was only the fact that the campaign had an awesome storyline that kept me going right to the end. I think the AoW AP will be a similar experience in that regard.

At high level 3.5E gets way to number heavy with 57 different modifiers to remember. A prime example, as a group we increased the to-hit number of one of the PC's attacks by +8 as we reminded him of the various modifiers to his roll that he had forgotten!

I'm looking forward to seeing if 5E can make high level play more fun to DM. There are also a couple of things in 3.5E that grate on you over time that would be nice to see a different way of handling.

I'm meh right now with my PF game. But I'm so into Marvel Heroic that if Dragon Brigade were released yet, I'd jump on that blindfolded!

 

[SnowleopardVK]

Pathfinder and quite happy.

I wouldn't mind an alternative once in a while, but I do mind having to pay for a lot of new books. I'd rather just expand on my collection for the system I already have.

...That said, I really want to get some AD&D books.
