[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 3310444, member: 326"] Hiya JV mate! :) :D I'm not discounting them, I just think its going to be impossible to appease the majority of existing 3/3.5 gamers with ANY new product. I just don't think they'll be able to resell the same books, and they have already covered so much ground with 3/3.5 that its going to be difficult not repeating themselves. I am sure Wizards are on top of the situation. They hired Mike Mearls which I think was a good step - I loved Iron Heroes, the classes were a lot more focused and the feat chains well implemented. If anyone could could design a pen & paper 4th Ed. I might be interested in, its probably him (though even then I see no reason to get anything past the core rulebooks). But as Ryan Dancey has commented, there is a marketing release and a new design release. I would be far more interested in the latter. I'm skeptical. I'll stand by what I said, the core rulebooks might do well, but after that I see no way that they'll get me to buy anybook resembling 3/3.5 purchases I have already made, and I can't imagine too many others will either. Even then, what rules need to be revised? Anything major? It just sounds like they'd be clearing up a bunch of nitpicks. I don't think selling 3.75 (or whatever) core rulebooks will be a problem, its all the books after that I can't see shifting. Then thats a marketing release, not a new design release. I think a lot of the naysayers would give it a try and love it. The poll is more of a kneejerk reaction to a radical change. That doesn't make sense, I'm not suggesting something totally alien. I like it! :) Yes that could definately work! It doesn't sound condescending. You could be onto a winner. He he! :D [/QUOTE]
