Likewise, back in the day I didn't buy Tunnels & Trolls or Rolemaster, or any other number of games that were all D&D in all but brandname and a few details. With the exception of its market position, 4e exactly fits the definition of "yet another fantasy heartbreaker." Also, 2) D&D style fantasy isn't my preferred genre anyway. I don't want to sink hundreds if not thousands of dollars into yet another kinda sorta compromise solution. In the (at his point) unlikely event of my group converting to 4e, I will at most buy the first three books and then bum the rest off other guys in the group as needed. I'll probably end up doing that anyway.</blockquote>
