Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jhaelen" data-source="post: 4083778" data-attributes="member: 46713">My players aren't really interested in switching to 4E either.The thing is, they also weren't interested in playing 3E a couple of years back. After I had stopped DMing my 2E Darksun campaign due to burnout, I paused for several years. 3E managed to get me interested again, so I asked them if they'd like to play in a 3E game. They grudgingly agreed. They would have preferred me picking up 2E again, but playing 3E was clearly more appealing than not playing at all.Now, they're all very enthusiastic about 3E and several of them have invested heavily in supplements, so naturally they were more worried than anything when I started telling them about 4E.I've promised them we won't switch before we've finished the current campaign. But I'm already pretty sure I'll want to switch after that. While I still enjoy playing 3E I'm starting to get a bit tired of the ever-increasing prep time. This is something my players don't really see. The prospect of making the DM's job easier is very appealing to me.It'll take some convincing but I think in the end they'll switch - unless they get tired of playing D&D altogether. I also feel that 4E will be a better fit to the changing circumstances. It seems to be better suited to a casual game style which we've been adopting out of necessity - it's increasingly difficult to meet regularly to play. We're lucky if we're able to have a session every 3-4 weeks. I don't see thing getting any easier in the future.So, I am pretty convinced that they'll eventually enjoy playing 4E just as much as they're currently enjoying playing 3E now, if not more.</blockquote>
