MehI know I'm late to the party on this but here are a few quick thoughts.I don't really think 4e is needed. Not for a long time. I know WotC needs to have a profitable product but I think they will alienate more D&D fans with 4e so soon than anything else. I think their time would be better spent increasing the quality of their 3e products rather than just making a whole new edition.I can't say I'm thrilled with the prospect of a 4th edition after I've sunk lots of money into 3e, then of course repurchasing a few books for 3.5 and having some of my old 3e books simply go obsolete. I think I'm still a little bitter about the way 3e/3.5 was handled in the first place. Not to mention the fact that I have spent all this time making custom documents and references for my own benefit.Currently I'm very happy with the current edition. I never really got tired of 2nd edition. And though it was obviously flawed, 3rd edition is much more tight. True, it's getting bloated, but I tend to simply not use said bloat and just move on.I use minis in my game. I don't play the minis game itself but I buy a box occasionally because I like to have decent representations of what the PCs are actually fighting (we use all sorts of other "placeholders" including Homies and cut-out representations from Dungeon). I can easily *not* buy minis but, to me, they add a little flavor and sometimes make record-keeping easier. Whether they do the same for my players, I don't know, but it doesn't matter. Obviously these things are money-makers, being collectible, and I admit that many of them look really cool. I just hope they don't try to milk the minis line while neglecting everything else because the bottom could fall out at any time.Ah well. I guess we'll have to just see what happens. I'd be a fool to think that 4e wouldn't happen at some point, but I was really just hoping it wouldn't be for quite a while yet. On a positive note, I might be able to pick and choose a few things and make them compatible with 3e...maybe WotC will finally make the 20-level spell progression.--CT</blockquote>
