[QUOTE="Vayden, post: 4112060, member: 57791"] I voted no, but it's a qualified no. Here are the reasons I'm getting 4E, and which of them are tied to the brand name: - Part of it is that the D&D name is a big draw - I love D&D and all that comes with it, Giths, gnolls, beholders etc. (tied to the brand) - I'm also a fan of the d20 baseline - I'm currently in one 3.5 game, one SWSE game, and one McWoD game, so the evolution of the d20 system is a big selling point for me.
