I have got a 3.5 game to run!

3E will never "die" any more than 2E and 1E have. I'm betting it will "die" even less than any previous edition.

So good attitude, no need to jump ship for sure. ;)
 

9 months of running this campaign. 4E, although interesting, dashes any chance that this campaign will become long-running. I'm imagining that all my players will be anxious for 4E and will seemingly forget the paradise of knowledge and house rules that has made 3.5E our own...

Sadly, I hear they're going to add EVEN MORE MAGIC to D&D. So, they're upping character power and upping magic. Epic starts at 2nd level now instead of 5th... If they don't do something interesting with monsters (i.e. give them more hit points), I fear that it's just to become a fanboy's wet dream and my group will disintegrate.

We'll probably playtest some of the Gneech's Saga D&D conversion:

I have a 5th level D&D group. We meet every other week. I figure by the time 4th comes out, we'll be exiting the sweet spot and looking into high-level, epic play. Seems like a good time to jump ship then.

I just want some idea as to classes/races so I can get homebrewing my next campaign setting...

Switch to Castles and Crusades. I have run a half dozen 1E modules, with players, and am currently playing through "Ghost Tower of Inverness". With 5 other players and a CK (DM).

Is 1E with just a couple of house rules. Powerful house rules. Called the SIEGE engine.

The only thing, theplayers outside my faily are on line via SKYPE. Even so, I am finding I like it as much as face to face. In some ways I like it better.
 

My Age of Worms game will be done sometime around May. I had already planned on playing something besides D&D for the next couple campaigns. This just helps confirm that.

Just thought everyone should know that 3.5 is not dead yet. ;)
Dead?

Not until we finish the remaining five adventures in Age of Worms, it's not! And there's Savage Tide and even Shackled City, and Paizo's first Pathfinder...

I'm mostly happy with 3.x and there's likely enough material to last me, without exaggeration, for a decade, and enough enthusiasm, despite some wear, to last me for years. And yet, 4E is coming.

And I think that's great! Since I'm still not jaded or bored with 3.5, I'm looking forward to a meaningful, yet win-win choice in May next year: either 4E will be better than 3.5, and I'll get it and have even more fun; or it won't and I'll continue having fun with 3.5, again even more, as I scavange 4E for the parts that are better!

But until May next year: I have a demigod to stop, a world to save, a wizard to take to 20th and perhaps beyond...

In the last months, I'm happier with my D&D than I've been since the height of my first 3E game. :D
