D&D 4E DMs--Are you ending your campaign for 4e?

[Simia Saturnalia]

Yes, but by then my current campaign (see sig) will likely have come to a close and I'll quite possibly be running some Iron Heroes until the DMG hits shelves and I retreat from the DM chair to internalize 4e and write a campaign.

There'd better be aboleths in MMI.

 

[Aloïsius]

I will end my campaign when it ends. Then I will start a new one. And, maybe, it will be a 4e campaign. Maybe.

 

[KarinsDad]

Our group figures we have enough 3.5 stuff planned to take us well past the opening of 4e. We plan to finish those campaigns before coverting, then starting a new campaign under 4e.

Ditto. Course, we only have one campaign going on right now and I have in the last few years seen how quickly campaigns can come to an end (due to conflicts, we have had 4 campaigns so far since December and probably 8 or 9 in the last 3 years), so that can change in a heartbeat.

 

[StarFyre]

nah

will be converting the current campaign I run, and for the Lillend Bard in my campaign, will make up new house rules for her until a Bard is released in an expansion book.

Will also incorporate/adjust house rules as needed so that my friends/players don't suffer too much in the new edition.

I think I'll have tons of work to do, to add abilities, etc back to planar creatures, since it sounds like many will lose abilities, even ones that 'make sense' for the creature.

I still have plans to run the current campaign to conclusion (which will take until at least early next year). After that I hope to run the Shackled City AP. That will take us a fairly long time to get through. By then most of the kinks should have been worked out in 4E and my group will be ready to switch over.

I'm really the only one in my group that buy D&D stuff. Apart from one player that DM's another group, my players would be lucky to have a D&D 3.5E book between them. Because of that, the group is happy to play 3.5E until I'm ready to switch over.

My longtime players still resent the switchover from 2 (Skills & Powers) to 3.0, and also the shift to 3.5. Their characters changed ("weakened", in their eyes) each step along the way. I still hear snide comments every month. So, if I've learned one thing, it's to scrap the old and forget about converting those campaigns. I'll still finish those up under 3.5, but from there on out it's a new foot forward.

 

[messy]

nope. i can't plan that far ahead

[Lord Zack]

I've decided to stick with 3e until the end of my current campaign.

 

[Stormtower]

Gaia has been with me for more than 17 years and I will not be stopping my campaign or converting to 4e.

I have enough 3.5/OGL material to last for a lifetime of gaming.

 

[Mallus]

Over the next several months I see my current campaign winding down (up?) into a series of big, more self-contained adventures, eventually leading to the 'big finish' and denouement. Before them, the plan is to start one or more alternate campaigns; we might try porting my homebrew of CITY to Warhammer 2e, or give in to the power allure of a SWSE campaign... so we can do to Star Wars what we've been doing to fantasy for the past 3 years, which is best described as 'still illegal in the state of Texas'.

By the time 4E comes out I imagine we'll be eager to start a campaign using it. I'll probably try grafting CITY onto 4E, unless that particularly creative wellspring has run dry. I'm guessing it won't, though. CITY's proving to be the perfect vehicle for embracing and subverting both the D&D rules assumptions and the conventions of fantasy fiction.
