[QUOTE="Set, post: 3987758, member: 41584"] We have a mix of new players and old (very old) players. The new players want to play whatever the old players are comfortable with, and can help them learn the easiest, and, at the moment, that's 3rd edition. The older players have gotten comfortable with 3rd edition, and like the tons of options (Soulknives, Warlocks, Archivists, Dread Necromancers, Beguilers, Duskblades, etc.) that have been more recently added, and would be unlikely to show up for several years into 4th edition. As a result, we've decided to hold off on getting the new game, and, to my surprise, one of the other players, who has just about every D&D book going back to Gods, Demigods and Heroes, has stopped buying 3.X books. He bought the 1st printing 3rd edition PHB and got annoyed when they reprinted it a few months later with some different rules, so he's stated that if he gets 4E at all, it will be six months in, when they've had time to 'fix' whatever things they don't like in the 1st print run. We're running some adventure paths right now that should keep us going for quite some time, and then have a M&M game scheduled for 'after,' so there really isn't any room for us to monkey around with a new rules system anyway. Once 4E is established and has a couple years under it's belt, and a suitable supply of supplements, we'll likely switch over, but it's not like the 2E to 3E conversion, where the Dragon articles had us chomping at the bit to make the jump.
