[QUOTE="Crazy Jerome, post: 5450037, member: 54877"] I have learned not to make too many iron-clad predictions as to what I will and will not do concerning systems that aren't out yet. I was initially resistant to 4E, but finally tried it because of all the obviously contradictory things that were said about it prior to lauch--and found that I liked it. (As G.K. Chesterton said about a more serious subject, if something is hammered from all angles for being too round and too square, too oblong and yet too acute, it may very well be a strange thing. But it probably won't be what the critics said it was.) :p I'm playing and enjoying 4E right now. When 5E rolls around I may jump on it like a cat on a jitterbuggiing squirrel. Or I may ignore it. Or I may have something else going on right then and get to it later. Who knows? It's not like my choices are limited to 4E and 5E, either. In any case, I don't play enough for retro rules to matter all that much, for anything that I already own. If I live to be 200, I can't play a long campaign in everything that I already own and like. 5E will either be good enough to jump ahead of some of those--or it won't. 4E will continue to hold my interest well enough to say ahead of some of those--or it won't. Time will tell. [/QUOTE]
