Someone seriously believes that WotC is in business to make money period. And WotC chooses to sell trading cards, miniatures, and game rules why? There's a lot more money to be made in banking. Or nearly anywhere else for that matter. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />This is a poll about interest level in a product and mine is altered by the ethics of the company behind the product. So the licensing is important here. Anyway. . . back on topic. . .I'm ready for the new edition and it brings me exactly what I need at nearly the right time. If the books were available two weeks ago, when I first started reading this forum, I would have bought them then. But they weren't so I'll have to see if my interest level can survive for the next few weeks.3.0 brought a lot of sense to the table for a boy having difficulty with the 2ed rules. I was sold the moment I learned that saving throw DCs would depend on the level of the caster. The OGL had me evangelizing for the game. I'll never be as excited about a role playing product as I was for 3rd edition. Now I have more human things to be excited about. Family, work, and more that an RPG can never compare to but as a result I don't care about how saving throws work. I just want the game to be fast, smooth, and fun. 4e promises to deliver these things and I want to believe the promises. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />So here's where it falls on a simple scale of games I've been interested in:1 - 3.5e (I was interested to see why anyone expected I might pay for a reprint with more errata.)2 - Order of the Stick Board Game (I love OOTS.)3 - Iron Heroes (D&D without magic items, I'll bite.)4 - Arkham Horror (Had to wait until Christmas to actually play it!)5 - Exalted 2nd Edition (A welcome and engaging break from 3rd edition.)6 - Baulder's Gate (They had me believing it'd be just as fun as D&D and it came close for about 12 hours.)7 - 4th Edition (D&D now with more fun and less math. I hope.)8 - 3rd Edition (Thanks to Eric Noah!)9 - Diablo II (I'll admit Blizzard's hype storm really caught me.)So yeah I picked 7.</blockquote>
