Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lord Zardoz" data-source="post: 4118908" data-attributes="member: 704">I think there are two reasons for this.First, while players may outnumber DM's, most people will play what their DM chooses to run, especially if they like playing within their group.  If the DM likes 4th Edition, and wants to run it, nothing short of an outright player revolt or someone else stepping up to DM will stop it from happening.  Second, despite what people post on forums, most people probably do not hate the idea of 4th edition enough that they would not at least play in a one shot.  And if the game mechanics do not outright suck, they are probably going to be willing to play that system again.  I myself like D&D, and have no intention of running a game in a different system.  But I have played Paranoia, Shadowrun, Harn, Call of Cthulhu, and Mage.  The only one of those I have actually run though, was Call of Cthulhu (and that using the d20 variant).I like the general direction they are trying to go in 4th Edition, with all classes equally viable at every level, and per encounter based powers.  I am skeptical about some of the changes, such as non euclidian diagonals (which I intend to ignore).  In any event, my plan is to buy the PHB, DMG, and MM for 4th edition, run a 1 shot, and see what happens.  If I like the rules, I may end my campaign a bit earlier than I had intended, and reset with new character.  But I do not expect to migrate my game over whole sale.END COMMUNICATION</blockquote>
