Message: <blockquote data-quote="Primitive Screwhead" data-source="post: 3812827" data-attributes="member: 20805">I too think that the difference between the advent of 3e and now is interesting. I found Eric Noah's 3E site by accident while in a very dry spell between gaming groups and a simlar dry spell in my {now previous} marriage. The rumor-mongering and bits of mechanical fluff kept me focused and entertained for months before the game finally came out. {Used to be 'Justin Cooper' back then}Since then alot of things have changed. I now have a regular gaming group and alot more fredom in choosing what I do and how I spend my money. As a self-acknowledged tweak-a-holic, the opportunity to tweak an entirely new system is a draw that is hard to avoid. I am interested about 4e, altho I agree that the marketing method needs *alot* of work. for instance, the Rules Compendium looks like a solid buy.. however my group is pretty assured of switching over to 4E.... soo... guess what I am not buying <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />In regard to the higher volume of 4e-naysayers at ENWorld this time... thats partially a matter of size. My screen shows 1,647 users *currently* online. I don't think we had that much traffic back in the days. If you ascribe to the 10% rule, that makes over 100 currently online posters the sort that will rail indecently against whatever topic they feel needs to be railed against.Of course, the 'funniest' part, IMHO, of the nay-sayers present today is that fact that we really do not know much. I prefer waiting to see more before making a final judgement {and maybe buying the Rules Compendium anyway..}</blockquote>
