[QUOTE="Consonant Dude, post: 5808694, member: 6688791"] I don't think the OP was trying to stay current as there was mention of "buying 4e recently". If one needs to stay current (I don't understand the concept myself), he'd probably buy the books closer to release date. That would make for five years of 4e before the next version. I think that's not unreasonable at all. But I maintain it's terribly unwise to follow trends "just because" and if one needs to incorporate new concepts, there's plenty of legally free RPG stuff on the net you can plug in your games. New doesn't always mean better. It's up to each and everyone of us to buy products we will enjoy. I empathize with your problem of a fractured player base and understand it can be tough finding groups under those circumstances, though. But IME, the most important thing to attract players is a DM who is comfortable with the system he uses, is enthusiastic about the campaigns he runs and makes a good pitch to attract players.
