[QUOTE="overgeeked, post: 9016625, member: 86653"] Games being in print and actively supported vs so-called dead games is incredibly overblown as far as I’m concerned. People are still playing OD&D, B/X, AD&D, Classic Traveller, etc. You don’t need a game that’s in print. You need a game you like that does things you want rules for. Go with the one that’s a better fit for your group. For me, it’s an easy choice. 4E hands down. If you do go with 4E (the far better game in my opinion), then you’ll need to adjust some things.
