I will not buy it unless there is a noticable upgrade from the current system. However to clarify, I am playing 3.5 due to my having felt that there was a noticable and definable upgrade from 1st to 2nd to 3rd to 3.5 editions anyway. I also played a number of other game systems in there as I was unhappy with 1st and 2nd in a lot of ways when they were on the market. I will go to were-ever the best system is to run and play with our group. That means that D&D will have to continue catering to my needs in a RPG;Easy to run, Fast to set up (prepublished adventures help), complex play without bogging down play (not always successfully but better then Rolemaster), lots of options for players in character design/concept and during play without needless complication (also not always successful as the class based system has significant flaws for character customization).Unlike many on the boards I am not really concerned about the pricetag for my hobby. When your wife and two daughters are all using the materials purchased for gaming then I don't begrudge the cost so much, as its a better family activity then TV any day of the week.</blockquote>
