[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 4393681, member: 48965"] Yeah, this is a bit of a tangent... however I wanted to comment on this statement. I don't think the group or the DM not wanting to compromise is a sign of "bigger issues" or "being jerks". I believe there are just too many factors involved in this, for it to be a blanket statement. First regardless of what people argue as far as math, balance, etc. The point of a game is to have fun. If the DM or majority of the players are having fun playing 3.5, why are they "jerks" or have "issues" for not wanting to switch to 4e? Second is investment. If the majority of the group is happy playing in a 3.5 game and have made a significant investment (both in time learning rules and money) in it, why are they wrong for not wanting to invest in another edition? I mean contrary to what most people claim here, RPG's are a good investment in fun vs. cost... if you actually enjoy and play the game. Otherwise you just spent $100+ to have books take up space on a bookshelf. Last I'd like to comment further on the whole, try it then judge it sentiment. It's cool in theory, but how many posters here have tried every rpg game...I mean I'm willing to bet there are a significant number of posters here who only play D&D and have no interest in anything outside of it. Personally I think they're missing out on some great games... but ultimately I respect their decision whether they've tried every game out there or not. I don't consider them "jerks" for not wanting to try something before deciding it's not for them. Personally I'm not a fan of hard sci-fi games and as such I don't buy them, my only sci-fi (more like sci-fantasy) games are Star Wars and Fading Suns. I don't need to compromise and try a hard sci-fi game to know it's not my cup of tea. [/QUOTE]
