[QUOTE="EricNoah, post: 4118644, member: 4"] Thanks for a great post. I myself do have kind of a one-track mind. It's all or nothing for me, usually. I never would have played some 2e and some 3e. I guess there is a possibility I could end up a player in a 4E game, and as such it certainly behooves me to keep up with the development somewhat. And I am certainly interested in it from an academic/observer point of view. I fully understand the excitement a new edition can bring. But I have just begun to get into the groove with 3.5. I have a lot more to do with it and I'm just not ready to be done with it. And thus I'm not ready to dive into a different edition. So I guess for me there is a "switching" or "not switching" mentality. I know there are many other RPG players out there who can and do juggle multiple games, and editions of games. I just don't roll that way. All that said -- I do also hope to see a future here where 3E and 4E folk can rub shoulders but not rub each other the wrong way. I think it's possible. But only if people can bring their discussion up to a civil, respectful and friendly level -- even now, when emotions are flying around. Folks must know on some level that their mission here isn't to change anyone's mind -- or to make guesses as to their motives -- but to say what they think, what they like or don't like, without trashing others who hold different opinions. I truly do wish the 4E fans all the best -- this is an exciting time for them, and I don't begrudge their joy one iota. I will do my best to never quash their fun. [/QUOTE]
