[QUOTE="Epic Meepo, post: 3920280, member: 57073"] Nah. D&D is a big enough name that 4e would be hard pressed to do poorly, at least at the outset. But if it's divisive enough, it could end up shrinking the already small pen-and-paper rpg market in the long run. As for deciding against it, not much is going to stop me from at least giving the first three core rulebooks a thorough read-through. But if I can find a group that's enthusiastic about playing 4e, I won't play 4e either, and thus will not buy any future 4e products. Some things that will effect my current gaming group's opinions: one of them loves playing druids in every campaign; one of them loves characters who use necromancy and mind-control; and one of them is a grognard who appreciates the AD&D sacred cows; and one of them prefers learning alternative game systems to learning new rules for existing game systems. Somehow, I get the feeling that the 4e PHB isn't going to go down very well with that lot. [/QUOTE]
