[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 3790089, member: 10177"] I've played almost every version of D&D (not Chainmail), and I have converted to every edition of D&D. 3E is the first edition of D&D I quit. It took me nearly 5 years to decide to quit. I seriously invested in every edition, including 3E. I have several hundred 3E books and modules (from White Wolf, Kenzer, Paradigm, Green Ronin, XRP, Goodman, Necromancer, Troll Lord Games, Mongoose, FFE, Privateer, Paizo, pretty much everyone) and a large metal miniature collection, tiles, etc... My biggest reason to quit 3E was prep time. Second biggest reason was AoO rules. Third biggest reason was the scale of power. 4th is complexity/length of combat. So if 4E is done right for me, prep time will be seriously reduced, AoO's will be all but gone, combat will be considerably faster. From what I have read and heard these are happening to some degree. Even the scale of power may be lowered a bit with the de emphasis of magic items. So 4E may actually get me back "into" D&D. Meaning the current edition being supported. I'm still into D&D, just very different from what is the current version. So that possibility makes me even more apprehensive. It makes me hope even more that they do it right for me this time. Just I am hearing a lot of things that make it sound very possible that they will not. So I am going to feel very "up in the air" for over 5 months. I hope the apprehension is worth it when 4E arrives. [/QUOTE]
