[QUOTE="Wombat, post: 3731545, member: 8447"] Right now there is a lot of talk, both positive and negative, about 4e ... and this long before we have seen it. There were those who said, "I'll never give up 2nd edition!" ... but did anyway. There were those who jumped on the 3.5 bandwagon ... only to find themselves falling back towards 3e. For the most part, however, 4e will eclipse 3.X in a relatively short period of time, mainly because "new" is automatically (in a psychological sense) better than "old" in the English-speaking world. And since there will not be "support" for the old system, people will drift, quickly or slowly, over to the new one. Then there will be the backwash -- the people who drift back wanting that "3e experience", or the ones who want "something like the old system, but with some of the mechanics of the new", thus leading to C&C4e-version, or equivalent thereof. But these people will be in the minority. I've watched this happen with multiple editions of multiple games now. I know the drill. [/QUOTE]
