The way I see it, GMs love to want to try out new things, but players rarely want to go for them. I'm no different, and I'm fine with that. My group didn't want to play Cinematic Unisystem, and I don't hold it against them. It's their preference. If I really wanted to play it, I'd go out and find some others to play with. I'd rather play with them, though, so I keep searching for a system that everyone wants. That tends to be D&D.If a friend of mine wanted to run 3.0 instead of 3.5, I would look at him like he was crazy. I still have my old books, but there's no way I'm playing in it. Why? I like the changes that came in 3.5. I played and loved 3.0, and there aren't that many changes between the two. But, it doesn't matter. I'm not going to play 3.0. So, I imagine that the same would be true of 3e vs. 4e.If 4e has a predisposition toward magic items similar to 3e, I'll still want to play Iron Heroes, so OGL is still a possibility for me at that point. The main thing there, though, is that its going for a different experience than D&D. So its not like I have to be playing the latest thing, its just that if the latest thing in a particular genre is, what I see as better, then I'll always go for my preference.If 4e isn't what I'm looking for in an RPG, I'll stick with 3.5. But, I doubt that will happen. I'm actually looking more forward to 4e as time goes on, and I start to notice the things about 3e that bug me more and more. When 3e came out, it was so much better than 2e that I didn't notice the annoying, inconsistent, or bad things about it. But, they're there, and I would love to see them fixed. After seeing them fixed, I can't imagine going back.</blockquote>
