[QUOTE="Shadeydm, post: 3177692, member: 44243"] I abstained from voting because I am something of a hypocrite on this particular topic. I started playing AD&D in the mid eighties as a jr high student. I was hooked immediatly and played AD&D for years happy and content with the game and the rules as they were. When the 2nd edition was announced I was totally against it. I didn't want to buy new books or learn new rules. No I would not buy 2nd edition. When it was released one of my players bought the 2E PHB and brought it to the game. We all looked over. I ended up buying the books and switching despite my earlier stance on the subject. I had a subscription to Dragon magazine at the time 3E was announced and although I was against it initially by reading all the 3E tidbits published in Dragon I got hooked and made the switch. (Brilliant marketing IMO) When 3.5 was announced rinse and repeat " I refuse to buy these books and pay for errata etc." Yet in the end I bought the books and made the switch. I although I am against a 4th edition I am sure that curiosity will kill the cat and I will make the switch and spend even more money. I am just a sucker for DnD. [/QUOTE]
