[QUOTE="DMReckless, post: 4266514, member: 60997"] I'm not a fan of 4th Edition. Neither the "crunch" nor "flavor" of the rules support the type of play I enjoy. The sales strategy involved in the game design (ie new core rules every year requiring a certain lack of completion in the first set of core rules) turns me off. I don't like some of the things that the designers have said about 3rd edition, nor the implications about its fans. I vehemently dislike disparaging attitudes displayed on message boards by fans of both editions about their "opposites". D&D 4th edition seems to be a game that is going to appeal to a wide player base. If they can adopt better modes of marketing for the planned "gain new customers" mass marketing in 2009, more power to them- and, to the hobby in general. I hope that 4th Edition is a huge success. I hope that the online content improves greatly by Friday. I really hope that the sales results encourages Hasbro to keep the brand and continue to put its considerable resources behind its marketing and developing. I also hope that the Pathfinder RPG from Paizo Publishing garners the kind of success that Paizo, as a consumer friendly, communicative, and talented company deserves. I plan on supporting them as they have chosen to support a version of D&D that my gaming group and I enjoy much more than 4th edition. So, here's to you, 4th Edition. May your sales be HUGE, may you attract new customers, and may both old and new customers gain years and years of enjoyment out of playing you. Congratulations on the sell-through of the first run, WOTC. [/QUOTE]
