I'm not big on default D&D rules, but overall I find that since I'm perfectly happy with chopping bits out of it, I can hack it down to a manageable level.4E... I'm sure I'll wind up playing it at some point. It being the new standard and all. On the one hand I'm not overly interested in it, because it looks like it's going to be just as complicated as 3.5 is. On the other hand, I'm not sure I really want to be lumped in with some of the loonies swearing their undying loyalty to 3.5.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I certainly won't be buying any of the books before 2009, so if I hook up with some group that insists I own the book(s) in order to play, I just won't be playing.Pathfinder... I don't see the point to it very much really. Maybe that'll change in the future, but given how everyone's basically wanting 3.5 but still currently published, it doesn't seem like there's much point to it for me. If they were actually doing a "3.75" like I thought they originally were, that'd be a different story. Their stated goal is backwards compatibility though, so I don't see how they're going to be able to maintain it without staying basically the same.Of course, I play and run non-d20 stuff, so this whole new/old edition thing doesn't really matter that much to me. And I started way back with Basic D&D, so new editions don't seem like anything to get worked up over.While I did pick up some books here and there for the rules, I've got plenty of books that are still quite useable as idea mines, so I'm not as worried as some about getting mileage out of my exisiting books.</blockquote>
