[QUOTE="DaveMage, post: 3292225, member: 10447"] I asked because I think the more adventures one has, the more likely that they don't want a revision. Some people (which, unfortunately doesn't include me) are very good at doing conversions on the fly. They can take an adventure from any edition - even other game systems - and adapt them quickly to whatever game they are playing. For those of us who can't, a new edition essentially makes our collection unusable (beyond providing inspiration). Your point about justifying buying adventure paths is a very good one. I have 7 super adventures of which I will be able to run one in the next year or so (World's Largest Dungeon, Rappan Athuk Reloaded, Shackled City, Ptolus, The Accordlands campaign, The Drow War, and Ruins of the Dragon Lord). The "Expedition" series from WotC is also producing some fine stuff. If there's a new edition coming soon, and it invalidates these adventures as playable (with the new rule set), then I have a tough decision to make regarding switching. If the business model effectively nullifies my ability to use these products during the lifespan of an edition, then I either have to stop buying mega-adventures, or not upgrade. A tough choice. It's to the point that I hope 4E makes such a radical change that I lose interest. [/QUOTE]
