[QUOTE="DaveMage, post: 3759428, member: 10447"] Actually, I don't think very many will port their games. I think most who are switching will simply start a new campaign as WotC suggests. As for the % of 3.5 players & DMs who will leave behind 3.5 and switch to 4.0 whole cloth, I'm guessing 75%. However, I certainly reserve the right to change this prediction once more about the game is known. When the 3e previews started I was very skeptical, but as more and more was revealed, I loved what I saw. I remember what clinched it for me - the preview writeup of Bahamut and Tiamat that (IIRC) appeared in Dragon Magazine. Hit point totals were so low in 2E, that when these 1,000-hp monsters appeared and they showed all the cool changes, I knew they had created a game I wanted to play. In this case, though, as more and more gets revealed for 4e, the more I want to stay with 3.5. However, to be fair, we really haven't seen anything of substance yet (IMO). I'm more curious as to what Paizo and Necromancer are going to do - and then what effects that decision will have on their bottom line. Both have been silent (although Necromancer has implied in the past that they will support the current version of D&D whatever that is.) [/QUOTE]
