[QUOTE="bytor4232, post: 3175990, member: 39692"] I agree. I won't be the first one in line. I have more WOTC, OGL, and other material that I've written myself. Converting won't be something I'd be looking forward to. I'd like to stick with 3rd edition untill it was almost impossible to find players for the system. I don't see that happening for a while after 4th hits the shelves. I'm sure I'll be DMing and playing 3rd edition games well into the next decade, weather or not 4th edition is on the shelves or not. However, more than likely I'll dive into 4th ed like everyone else will. I plan on starting slowly this time. Pick up the PHB one month, the DMG after that, then the MM. After that, who knows. Eventually I see myself running both third and fourth edition games. The only thing preventing this is 4th edition being total and complete garbage. Thats not very likely, but who knows. My dream is that its at least somewhat compatible with third edition, so that everything on my shelf isn't isolated from it. I'm hoping stuff like Draconomicon, Races, and Environment series will still work. Yeah right. I can dream can't I? On an unrelated topic, my guess as to the release date of 4th edition is Christmas 2008. It just doesn't seem like its even on WOTC's radar. No real hints, no rumblings, nothing. 2008 will be the year of the spindown, then 4th will fly onto the shelves by christmas. [/QUOTE]
