[QUOTE="Aeolius, post: 3904342, member: 2072"] If I can't convert my current campaign to the new rules then the new rules are not improved, they are defective. I seamlessly converted a 1e campaign to the 3e rules, long ago. I would hope I could do the same with a 3e to 4e transition. There are many rules I would have to house-rule right from the start, i.e. ignoring any changes to demons, devils, and the planes, keeping monster races a viable solution, and so on. A quick glance at the 4e Monster Manual will also help my decision. Without sea elves, locathah, and merfolk, then 4e isn't worth considering (undersea campaign). If they drastically alter night hags and their kin, I'll have to change them right back. None of my players are begging to switch to 4e, though, so perhaps I can wait until 4e has a revised Greyhawk Gazetteer, Savage Species, Stormwrack, and a Players Handbook that includes the bard (as well as rules for psionics, incarnum, Tome of Magic, dread necromancers, etc.) [/QUOTE]
