Bad reviews can bring up points as well as good ones. (The selling points to me was a single consistent die mechanic, and the removal of THAC0.)Another point is that I was pretty much done with 2ed before 3e was on the horizon - something that I cannot say about 3e, I still play it, and my interest has not noticeably flagged.  As a result I am unwilling to set aside the investment of time and money I have made to the older system (And yes, I realize that they can be considered sunk funds - that the money has been spent, whether or not I also invest in 4e.)I may well pick up 3P, while I consider it unlikely that I will do so with 4e. 4e sounds like it might be a good game for casual play, but it just does not ring my bells. This is the first time that I have not felt that a newer edition of D&D was an improvement over the previous edition, and the first time, aside from OD&D, that an edition has appeared before I stopped playing the older edition.The Auld Grump, about 11 when OD&D came out....</blockquote>
