[QUOTE="Aeolius, post: 3001541, member: 2072"] I skipped the 2e core rules, so I might as well skip 4e to establish a pattern. :D The World of Greyhawk is the default world for 3e/3.5e. As a Basic D&D/1e AD&D old-timer, I prefer to use that setting for my campaigns. I have seen Eberron and do not care for it. If Eberron is an indicator of the nature of 4e's default setting, count me out. I have been running play-by-post campaigns since 1995. It's somewhat difficult to use minis in such a format, so I have downplayed their importance; no matter how integrated 3e has made them. It would suit me if 4e reduced the dependence on minis, leaving miniatures to a separate game of their own. From the indicators, this is not the trend 4e will be following. I do not begrudge a company's desire to turn a profit. If WotC thinks 4e is the only way to accomplish this, there is little anyone can do to stop it. However, like others have stated, I think 3.5e still has a bit of life left in it. For example, WotC released Stormwrack, a combination undersea/seafaring supplement.
