[QUOTE="Ferrix, post: 3000703, member: 6115"] Well... I like my 3.0/3.5 fine the way it is really. I find the push for 4E by WotC a sort of sad transition. 3rd edition was a great push out of a dying label and system. Pushing into a 4E in the next year or two, depending upon how they make it backwards compatible, could easily rift the community. I own a handful of miniatures, and most of my friends who game are the same way, they are old school metal figurines, and we generally bought them because they looked cool. I played Magic for a number of years and the collectible aspect of it drains me, sure it's good for a business because people keep buying new stuff, but it was never about owning some hot collectible card, but about having a fun game to play around a table with friends. I won't move into a 4E that is a collectible miniature based game, because it would be a waste of money to me. Role playing games, regardless of their roots in war gaming, are not miniatures based, they are imagination based. I'll stick with my imagination, the great imagination of my friends, and a decent set of rules like 3rd edition (3.0 and 3.5). And no offense but I like to play with people who are intelligent on many levels with good imaginations. No computer or video game has ever interested me, multiplayer or not, to the extent that a face to face role playing game does. [/QUOTE]
