[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 4043613, member: 14159"] I've got easily over $1000 in 3e materials. Does it affect me moving to 4e? That's part of it, I've got a fully functioning, quite fun game already that I've spent years learning and becoming accustomed to. Why should I give up 3.5 for 4e just because 4e is coming out? I've got a game I already enjoy and have fun with and know well and know I can use for my fantasy gaming interests. I didn't feel a need for a new version of D&D before 4e was announced, so WotC would have to sell me on a product that is competing with something I'm already happy with. The marketing materials for 4e have definitely not helped though. Telling me that 3.5 was not fun/broken/bad went a long way to losing me. Throwing out the established implied setting of D&D that I came to know and love (The Great Wheel, The Blood War ect.) did a lot too. Trashing the Forgotten Realms and getting rid of Dragon and the "new core books every year and they're all "core"" business model were the icing on the cake. It would have been a tall order to convince me to move to 4e, not impossible, but difficult. However, what has been revealed of 4e in substance and style definitely didn't do that. [/QUOTE]
