[QUOTE="dmchucky, post: 4287589, member: 16177"] [b]Wow[/b] Wow. There are some pretty harsh opinions here. Let me add some harsh comments the other way. The DM is the god of his domain. He does all the heavy lifting. Thus he decides what system the group uses. Period. End of discussion. It's that simple. I won't ever use the 4th Edition rules. My players know this. They would never ask me to. They trust me to use the system that I am comfortable with. If the majority of my group wanted to change systems, I'd wish them well and move on.
