Message: <blockquote data-quote="Scrivener of Doom" data-source="post: 6238597" data-attributes="member: 87576">Like others, I think 4E is radically different enough to 3.5E that it couldn't/wouldn't work as a modular option: it really is its own game.What I do sometimes wonder, though, is if WotC would have been better off taking a more Saga-like approach to 3.5E and creating 4E that way. Even though I am happy with 4E and would never go back to 3.5E - or, worse, devolve to Next - I can imagine a tidied up ruleset for 3.5E that might have been more successful than 4E. However, I don't think it was just 4E's rules that killed the edition. Clearly the crappy opening adventures - particularly those two with Mike Mearls name on them - killed a lot of enthusiasm for the new edition and for 4E and Paizo was waiting there with open arms and products that many seem to find superior.Anyway, that's all pointless navel-gazing now. We had 4E, we're about to get Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Third Edition and who knows what will happen next. (I do hope Next will be successful simply because I want my 4E DDi tools to remain online.)To be fair he began with "There's an old southern saying..." which, in my experience, means that what follows is going to make no sense.</blockquote>
