[QUOTE="Kristian Serrano, post: 4242747, member: 13046"] That's actually in the lead right now. The only compelling thing about 4e is the more streamlined rules and the availability of the online tools. Two of us (will) have kids, and so being able to hop online for a couple of hours without having to schedule something regularly and it seems prepping encounters is much easier in 4e. In the end, I'm really thinking that sticking to v3.5 might be a better choice in terms of budget. I might just start making up easier monsters and NPCs that have unique abilities rather than using the complex baddies that have dozens of spells or spell-like abilities. Essentially, I think a v3.5 game that's less strict with the rules might suffice. And just to clarify, things aren't so "tight" that I can't afford the core rulebooks; it's just that it's harder to justify $65 + $15 per month for a hobby than it is to justify only $10-$15 a month, or at least it seems that way in my head. :) [/QUOTE]
