[QUOTE="Cbas_10, post: 3989537, member: 55767"] In our seven-person group, one of the guys and I take turns running the show; I DM for a few months until I wrap up the end of a storyline, then he runs his game for a few months, then we go back to mine, etc. I'm in absolutely no hurry to switch to 4E...from a DM standpoint. We don't really need to go into the reasons, here, but I simply have not experienced the "failings" of 3.5 that many others talk about. When it is my turn to DM....it will continue on as 3.5 until something dramatic happens. As for the other DM, he wants to try out the new 4E. I'm okay with that...I'll even get the PHB. At least then, I'll be able to give the new edition a fair shake. We all will. Unless something REALLY knocks my socks off with 4E (which would involve a few previewed new ideas to be taken back out of the PHB), I think this set-up would remain that way indefinitely...and our group is cool with that. The other DM is still relatively new at running a game, so the new edition appeals to him. However, 3.5 is just so intuitive and perfect for my style of gaming, that I don't want to start doing something different....just....because....for no really good reason. But, as a player, 4E looks like it could be a bit of fun; stress-relief in the form of a simple, basic, monster-smashing, dungeon-crawling Loot-fest. [/QUOTE]
