[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 5774054, member: 52734"] Back in the 90's, 2E felt to me and my group that the game was stuck in a rut. It was feeling arcane (in a bad way) with systems like WoD and GURPs gaining ground around it. I'd actually stopped playing D&D for a few years and was playing WoD for a bit. 3E brought me back into the game, though I was rather leery of it. It wasn't until I got to see a preview at Dragoncon that I decided I'd give it a try. Found myself really enjoying it and swearing I'd never go back to previous versions. 3.5 comes out and I'm grumping about, but happy I didn't buy the updated 3.0 books that had come out about three months earlier. Still, found I liked it once I'd read over the changes (The SRD was very helpful in that regard). 4E's announcement left me cold. I wasn't ready to move on. I wasn't finished with 3.5 - I felt like I was just warming up to it (We were in the middle of a pirate campaign when it was announced. Pirates! You hear me WotC?!?). Never really enjoyed it when it was forced upon me by my players and when Pathfinder came out, I took it up. I'm running [I]Rise of the Runelords[/I] with it, which was made with 3.5 rules. I'm loving it, for now. Then comes the announcement of 5E. I don't need this edition, I've got Pathfinder. But I find myself wanting to be involved with it. See it become the best D&D so far. I don't need this edition, but I'll buy into it if it turns my fancy. But I'll move when [I]I'm[/I] ready to, not when WotC tells me to jump ship. [/QUOTE]
