[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 3734611, member: 18701"] Well, if I switched to 4e, then my 3.5 PHB, DMG, MM1, MM2, MM3, MM4, MM5, FF, Spell Compendium, ect ect ect aren't going to be very useful. There are a few books that I may be able to salvage...probably the Magic Item Compendium with lots of tweaks being done. Adventures can always be used but they require a lot of monster/NPC updating and tweaks done to traps and effects. But overall, most 3.5 WotC books are full of stats & crunch and not a whole lot of fluff as compared to AD&D material. I still use a lot of AD&D stuff for fluff. Since creature fluff is pretty piddly in 3.5, I like to refer to my old AD&D books to help spice up my roleplaying. The Monstrous Arcana books got a lot of use in my 3.5 game. I've even referred to my old AD&D MM. My Planescape books get the most use though. The thing is, converting adventures takes a long time to do. And the amount of work I've prepped and found online for 3.5 rules really keeps me from wanting to switch to 4e just yet. If they had enough resources for 4e quickly enough where I could make the transition smoothly, I'd be all over 4e. But I've done too much 3.5 work right now to waste it all. [/QUOTE]
