Message: <blockquote data-quote="w_earle_wheeler" data-source="post: 3785975" data-attributes="member: 35955">I started out excited, then as more details came in (on core changes to D&D mythos, not rules changes) I became less enamored. When a representative of WotC claimed there would be no 4.5, I once again swung toward the positive spectrum. However, the more details I read about the DI and the effect it may have on the tabletop game swings my 4e meter back in the hesitant spectrum.Two big factors for me right now:First, will I be able to do everything I can do with 3.5e with the first three 4e books released? Or will I have to wait for three or four years for 4e to catch up with the hundreds of character options released in 3.5e, only to have 5e peaking around the corner at that point?Second, will my player's want to switch to 4e? Will there be new adult players in my gaming community running 4e games or wanting to learn the game? This will be a huge factor. Will I meet new gamers in my brick and mortar store, or will they all be playing on their computers? If it is available for a reasonable price, I will run the 4e preview module for as many people as possible, but I am hesitant to pay out of pocket to promote a for-profit company (basically, buying a preview module or preview product only to do the work of advertising for WotC). I like WotC products and have nothing against their company, but I am no one's shill.</blockquote>
