Message: <blockquote data-quote="Abstruse" data-source="post: 5947384" data-attributes="member: 6669048">Because I want to play the game with my friends. We have enough problems trying to talk one another into playing the same board game on board game night and only half of my gaming group play on that night because they hate board games. I've currently got a group of 5 players and myself, plus one other friend who would play if it wasn't a Pathfinder game (he only plays 4e). Those six friends of mine fall into the various camps I talked about. Pathfinder was the best compromise I could find and only one or two of the group are happy about the choice, but live with it.Now, for my players, it's about game style and characters. The game style isn't a problem as I, as DM, can control that in how I design adventures. The characters, it really sounds like they're going to do it well. There will be options for complexity in characters so you can have a 4e style fighter with multiple "powers" and a fighter like the one in the pregens that is straightforward and boring from a mechanical standpoint.If Next keeps going the way it is, I'm going to be able to play with all my friends without listening to them complain about how a different edition would've been a better game. If they just reprinted every edition, all I'd have is myself and six friends fighting over which of seven different editions of the same damn game we want to play - BECMI, 1st Ed, 2nd Ed, 3rd Ed, 3.5, Pathfinder, or 4e.I just want to get together with my friends and play Dungeons & Dragons damnit. And Next looks to be the best way to be able to do exactly that.</blockquote>
