[QUOTE="EricNoah, post: 3987779, member: 4"] I am involved in three groups. My group includes the DMs for my two other groups. In my own group, there is no interest in switching. There is some academic interest in what the new rules might be like. But we are in no rush, and I have materials to last me a decade at least. I just bought DDC 51 -- Castle Whiterock -- and it looks like it might be my next campaign (maybe a year out from now). The thing that might lure me to 4E is positive reviews of the DDI character generator -- if it is flexible enough to allow me to include customizations and create different kinds of output, and can at least do what eTools does at its best, I might be on board at some point. I rely the computer too much to go back to doing scads of stats for NPCs and monsters by hand. In group #2, the DM there will never switch, and in fact resisted 3.5. That turn of events really soured him on WotC -- he DMs from the 3.5 SRD but won't spend one more dime on D&D products at this point. His players have even suggested buying him a 3.5 DMG (comes in handy sometimes) but he doesn't want it. In group #3, we are still in the midst of Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil, which we started when 3e first came out. We'll keep marshalling on until that is done -- no end in sight, as we only play about 4 times a year. The DM there might have a spark of interest in 4E but again there is no rush, and I have not heard any players in the group express a strong desire to move on to 4E when we have only played 1 character in 3E. (Well, some have played more than one character -- unlucky bastards, PCs keep dying!) [/QUOTE]
