[QUOTE="jolt, post: 4047091, member: 18142"] If all it were about was hanging with friends then the edition becomes irrelevant. In this context, 4.0 is no better a choice than 4E or 3.x or Basic or Ars Magica or whatever. In fact, if it was just about hanging out with friends, one would think you'd stick with the familiar so you'd have more time to actually play instead of spending time switching, converting, and doing a lot of other bookwork/keeping. It seems to me that a draw-the-line-in-the-sand decision was made to switch to 4E. Almost everyone was willing to switch; that's great. But that one person who doesn't isn't badwrongfun. Maybe he just wants to play with friends without having to worry about new editions, rules, conversions, etc. To him, this might all be a load of crap that's cutting into quality time spent with friends and is probably uncomfortable saying anything because he just wants to play with friends but rules and editions have been made the central issue. If I was him, I wouldn't say anything either. jolt [/QUOTE]
