At this point, it's just not worth my time and effort, even if WotC put out a perfect conversion method for my group to go to 4E.For each previous edition of the game (starting with OD&D), I've purchased the core rules, gone through them, thought about them. Until 4E, I've tried them out because the "cost" in my time and effort to convert existing campaigns to the new edition looked like it was significantly less than starting over from scratch.Two things *might* make me become a WotC customer again:1) They're already producing good, solid gaming material that I'm interested in, for 4E. But I'm not spending more than $15 to maybe try it out and mine it for ideas. A reasonable electronic version would figure strongly in favor of buying to try.2) New edition of the game that is compatible with previous editions. I'm disregarding 4E in this regard. I won't buy the core rules of the next edition just for the sake of checking it out; I have to be sold on it. It has to be worth my time, effort, and entertainment budget.For now, Paizo and some of the others have my dollars.</blockquote>
