[QUOTE="Abraxas, post: 6064662, member: 1266"] First, get used to people telling you 1) why your edition needed fixing 2) how you should make the switch and 3) your doing it wrong/thinking about it wrong if you don't want to switch because you don't get the gaming experience you want from the new edition. After you get past that, If you have a DDI subscription, download everything you can from the WoTC site before it goes away. You also buy all the books you think you'll need on the second hand market - someone who really likes the new edition will probably be doing a fire sale to get rid of all their old stuff. Then you need to find a core group of players that really likes 4E too - with any luck those people will also be long term friends that you have outside of gaming making it more likely that they will be around to play (I have had the same basic group of gaming friends for the last 27 years). In addition, you can hope that WoTC releases all the 4E stuff in a form that could be used by the old off-line character builder (not likely, but hey it would garner some goodwill) - Or learn to edit yourself so that you can add everything that you need. After that, you play what you like until you can no longer find anyone to play. [/QUOTE]
