These folks are a segment of the gaming community that is heavily bound in inertia due to previous investments in 3E. Despite the fact those 3E books on your shelf are a sunk cost, it's hard - for some, not all - to validate switching due to price constraints alone.Again, yes and no. I think the main business driver for 4E is to make money, and money is made by publishing a new edition. We know precious little, but we do know 4E is out-selling both 3E and 3.5E at similar points in their product lives. Does WotC want DDI to succeed? You bet it does.Do I think it will? Glad you asked - no.Time will tell on 4E, but I agree with you on 3E - it was a wonderfully shot of adrenaline for a dying hobby.I don't mind the closed-mouth bit (that much), but I agree on the cancellation of Dragon and Dungeon. That was a blunder. A big one. Paizo did it right - better than Wotc and TSR, in fact. Throw in the GSL ridiculousness and you've got an ugly mess wherein one of the premier 3rd Party Publishers has (unwisely, IMO) decided to make their own game.Poop. Yep. Just poop.Wis</blockquote>
