Are you worried about character conversion from 3.E-4.E?

Too soon to say.

My current game has all core classes (bard, ranger, druid, rogue), so it may be possible to convert them. Then again, I'm tempted to just get to an early conclusion of the campaign and start fresh with the new rules.

As for individual characters - I'm not concerned. If anything, I've found it easier to match my actual concept every time I converted an older character to a new edition.

The worry I do have however is more with my books. I love my Incarnum, and Tome of Magic is my favorite WotC book ever. I realize that in 4e there maybe be similar stuff so I can reinterpret those characters, but I like the binder, etc. So my worry is in being able to still use the 3.5 stuff, especially the alternative/weird things that they won't covert to 4e for a long time if ever.

Maybe the solution is to stick with 3.5. *shrug* Not a dig at 4e, just a possible fact for my preferences. How easily I can use Tome of Magic and play a binder (or shadowcaster or incarnate, etc.) is more important to me personally than fixing grappling or wizards using crossbows. The answer to that determines when I convert to 4e. If Tome of Magic is useless in 4e, then 4e is useless to me for now.

Conversion? Absolutely not.

If I want to "convert" something, I'll just rebuild the character from scratch to recreate the concept, not the details. No "micromanagement". No "conversion" issues then.

Yup, same boat here. Although the other DM in my group has flat out said he doesn't intend to convert, but knowing him I expect that to be so much noise.

We'll see when the time comes, I guess!

I'm not worried about character conversion at all.

Monster conversion, on the other hand, is where I'm biting my nails if I move on to 4E.

It's a big "if" if I even make the switch but I suppose I'll let 4th edition sit for 6 months-1 year and then consider changing if the layout/rules in the PHB are attractive. If they're going to make this good, they need to consider starting from scratch with a few things - seems like they are.

Anyhow, if I did start playing 4E I wouldn't bother converting except for reusing older modules. So, not sure.

Nope, I plan to start a fresh, new campaign when 4e arrives.
