[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 5755790, member: 6669384"] My local game shop stocks them all. The owner prefers 3.5, though he keeps a lot of AD&D house rules in his games. He's currently running a Pathfinder game, but gripes about the power-gaming. I know he's read 4th Edition, but I don't know if he's played it. WOTC offered a special deal to shops who would host 4e games, something like early access to some new releases, and he was willing to do it, but they insisted that it be on a Wednesday night (I think). Apparently they got a bug in their ear about the idea of people all over the country playing 4e all at the same time. They wanted all the games to "check in" via the internet, to prove they were doing it. He wasn't too thrilled about running a late-night game mid-week. He was tempted to just host it on Sunday night, then do the "check in" on the following Wednesday. In the end, nobody signed up, and to me that's the "proof of the pudding". I know that there are a lot of people who swear by 4th Edition, and it may be that we (in this forum) are just hearing the echoes of our own voices and mistaking it for a crowd, but when all was said and done, very little got done.
