[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 4949996, member: 18280"] Bill, If one is spending predominantly for differing subject matter, or as a collector, you have a point. OTOH, if one is spending predominantly for differing subject matter, one is less likely to buy subsequent editions of the same game. Buying the same monsters and character classes over and over again simply because there is a new system (edition) out is classic "system matters" behaviour. You say "System may be [i]interesting[/i] but unimportant in deciding what to play"; I say, if you are interested in systems, by definition systems are important to you to the degree that you are interested in them. Finally, sample any selection of EN World threads. Lots and lots of rules discussion. Rules are systems. In fact, there are so many threads devoted to 4e as a system in the General Forum that the value of EN World to me personally has sharply decreased in the last year. :.-( Mind you, that means that the value will have increased for those playing 4e, so it all balances out. ;) EDIT: Ha! I posted the above, and now the General Forum doesn't bear it out. *^&%$! I guess the mods are doing a great job of keeping things in their proper forums! :lol: Still, how many people deny that system-related concerns are a common topic of conversation among us, including among quite a few people who claim that system doesn't matter?
