[QUOTE="ForeverSlayer, post: 6045801, member: 91812"] This is all my personal opinion and experience. To be perfectly honest, I think Wizards hasn't handled the transition from 4th to Next very well and I think it's really going to hurt the overall outcome of the next edition. I went to a gaming convention a few weeks ago and the three main games that were being played are Pathfinder, FATE/Dresden Files, and Warhammer/Dark Heresy. There were no D&D games present and after speaking with a lot of people there, nobody was interested in playing. I also made a point to speak with these people about Next and how excited they were. Almost every response I had gotten was that they had moved on and gotten more involved in other games they were playing to the point where they aren't going to drop their games when Next is fully up and running. This is my own experience as well. Pathfinder is my game of choice but lately I have gotten even more involved to the point where I really don't care much about Next anymore. I think the trick to it is to leave only a tiny gap between editions so you don't have people moving off to find something else while they wait. You don't want people to get too comfortable with another game because it will be harder to get them to leave it to come back to D&D.
