[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 5338060, member: 13703"] I'm sort of the defacto grognard of our group. I DM a 3.5E campaign and we play fortnightly. Half of my group also play in another campaign that one of my players runs on alternate weeks to my game. When 4E came out the other group started a new campaign using 4E, while I kept mine going in 3.5E. Everyone in the group is happy with that. 2 years after the release of 4E, both groups are still going strong. However, being they only one to have not played at least a session of 4E, (not that I'm against it or anything) I have been deemed the grognard of our gaming group. Personally I am quite happy with my decision. We still haven't broken 3.5E (although we are well aware of its flaws) and I have many more campaigns I want to run after this one so I don't see us switching any time soon, to Pathfinder, 4E or some other system. Sticking with 3.5E has made me happy on a couple of levels. Firstly, I feel good about getting value out of my books. I own over 35 WotC 3.5E books and around 50 3rd party 3.5E books, along with over 100 PDF's. If I switched editions those books would largely sit unused on my shelf. That they are still getting used make me feel like I haven't wasted the money I spent on them. Secondly, now that I'm not on the D&D book-buying treadmill it has allowed me to spend money on my related D&D interests. I was finally able to buy some Hirst Arts molds, which I am now going to use to make some cool dungeons for my game. I was also able to keep up my D&D minis purchases. Thirdly, my other big hobby, Blood Bowl was able to get some loving. There are so many cool minis coming out for Blood Bowl at the moment and I can afford them now that my discetionary spending money isn't taken up by D&D books. Olaf the Stout [/QUOTE]
