[QUOTE="Veander, post: 3855662, member: 1693"] Sure, if I want to limit my gamer pool to a small number, that's a great way to look at it. Speculation is one thng, but the facts are that the previous editions had more time to ferment and sit before they overhauled the system. In fact many of the authors of the 1st edition stuff weren't part of the 2nd. Yet with 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0, we have a healthy amount of authors who are going to have had a hand in every one of those editions. Just seems rather fast to me and I just haven't been sold on it. I am surprised anyone is behind 4e as much as I see. I'm not against the edition so much as against the timing, but boy some folks are arguing for 4e in ways I wouldn't have thought possible. As far as people continuing to buy books, I think we run into the true reason 4e is hitting us only 4-5 years after 3.5 came out.... money. Hasbro is a corporation that wants to see some sort of cash flow and these "Complete Guide to This That" books aren't going to do it. [/QUOTE]
