Forked Thread: Changeover Poll

[Griego]

Neither poll offers the category into which my group falls; that is, still playing 3.5 and keeping the option open to switch to 4e when our current campaign ends.

Closest I can say is... tried 4e, went back to other gaming systems.

My gaming group was moving away from 3e (well, 3.wombat, heavily modified with lots of elements from Arcana Evolved, Skull & Bones, and other non-WotC supplements) a couple of years ago. I was able to convince them to try other systems and after a very short time had them convinced. NWoD (Changeling) went over very well, as did Ars Magica.

When 4e came out, we were underwhelmed by our initial view of it. However, we decided to play a few sessions to make sure we really understood it. So we played three sessions. And we swore we'd never go back to it. Too much like a tactical miniatures game, too little differentiation between the types of characters (everyone has the same mix of type of powers, which makes them all feel generic), too much emphasis on combat, too little emphasis on social interaction and non-combat powers. Nah, not to our tastes.

So we moved from trying 4e to ... Changeling. We may come back to D&D some day, but not soon, and it won't be 4e.

I like 4E, but as a seperate entity. It isn't D&D to me, but I do recognize it as the natural evolution of the game based on what I've seen happening to D&D over the years (1E - 4E is my true repertoire of D&D understanding). It just isn't D&D *for me*. I am playing 4E in the pbp area and I am liking it, but like I said, i is a neat game, but I just can't get past it being seperate from the D&D lineage.

I'm hard at work rewriting the PHB & MM for the Tale. I'll never sell or liquidate any of my 3E stock as I need to convert a lot of material for the Tale.

No good choice for me. Two (overlapping) groups I am in are clearly staying some sort of 3.x and not trying 4e, one is new (save two players) and testing 4e.

And that's exactly what applies to my situation as well.

This poll really does not add anything new from the poll it was forked from.

4e is ahead?

This poll is meaningless!

 

[Grimstaff]

This poll really does not add anything new from the poll it was forked from.

This poll is specifically targeted at conversion from 3E to 4E, as opposed to "earlier editions".

 

[Shemeska]

4e is ahead?

Only because "not going to 4e" is divided into three other choices. 4e is still getting punked.

 

[JRRNeiklot]

None of the above.
