I have an interesting situation. I've started a 4E campaign on Wednesdays for a couple folks who are new to the game. My Friday night group, though, is the group I most consistently game with. I joined them about 3.5 years ago, and the group itself has been running for may 6 years, using 3.0->3.5 the entire time. We typically do a new campaign every six months, though sometimes we have a year-long campaign.
Now that our current 3.5 campaign is winding down, one of the other players and I thought it would be a perfect time to make the switch. We both bought the gift set + a spare PHB each, making just about enough books for everyone (with the assumption that the DM was also buying). We'd been talking about the switch (at the table), and the game group was receptive to the idea.
The DM recently told me he has no intentions of switching, and will not be running any 4E games. He actively dislikes the powers system (fighters, in his opinion, now cast spells), and wants nothing to do with it. This is a conundrum for us because about half the group has been vocally gung-ho on switching for months now, and has no desire to continue 3.5 whatsoever (the other half is rather ambivalent about the whole thing and just wants to push dice).
I hear a lot of folks on ENWorld saying either "I'm not switching, and neither is my group," or "I'm switching, and so is my whole group," and I wish my group had it that easy. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with transitional strife in their group, and how they handled it.
