The publication of 4e isn't preventing you from playing 1e any more than the existence of 1e is preventing me from playing 4e. It's a pastime, not a career opening. Sure, it's difficult to become a crossbowman nowadays, for example. But you can still play the game of chess, invented centuries ago, at the same time as someone else is playing a cutting edge video game.To put it another way, the publication of Dark Heresy doesn't prevent me from playing D&D. So to reiterate a point I made earlier in this thread -- if 1st Edition is perfect for you (or 2nd, or 3rd, or whatever) -- then what's the problem? You can still play it. So if you want 4th edition to be identical to 1st edition, then play 1st edition. Nobody is stopping you. And if the rules are as perfect for you as you say, then you don't need endless splatbooks. PHB, DMG, dice, imagination. You've already got what you want. Enjoy it!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
