[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4120119, member: 19675"] Agreed 99.9%...ok...100%! I don't think so. IMHO, the RPG hobby has reached a critical mass of popularity, esp. if you include those who play the computerized simulations of RPGs. Even without 4Ed, there will be a large gaming hobby, both pen & paper and online. I don't think so. Any game has flaws & quirks, and for some, those will be enough to drive them away. There are many people who didn't convert to 2Ed. Ditto 3.X. Some still play their favorite D&D systems, others gravitated to the RPGs of other companies- WoD, Ars Magica, GURPS, HERO, etc. I, for one, am more ambivalent about the change to 4Ed than any previous D&D edition change, and really, [I]really[/I] like 3.5 (its my 3rd favorite system). At this point, I'm not sure I'll change over (even though I've preordered my 4Ed Core books), though its possible I may adopt some of the changes as HRs. And the guys I currently game with haven't updated to 3.5...that's right- we're still playing 3Ed. Simply put, for many people, 4Ed will never be D&D. But perhaps, 5th or 6th or 10th will be...
