[QUOTE="nute, post: 3464233, member: 10607"] Honestly? I find all the 4E talk to be two things: 1) Presumptuous on the level of Chicken Little, and 2) Irrelevant in the extreme. D&D right now as of this moment is a complete system. WotC could stop producing supplements and never publish another gaming book again, and it would still be a complete system. Thus, the people clamoring that 4E will be the death knell of gaming are illogical, because it cannot take away what you currently have. I mean, if they make a new expansion, are people going to come to your house/gaming store/storm drain and ticket you for playing an outdated edition? No, you keep doing what you're doing. I know plenty of people who still play AD&D even after 3rd Edition came out. There's a googleplex of material out there, and if people are afraid that suddenly WotC won't make an official "Mostest Completest Warlock II" book under the current rules, then frankly there's just no pleasing them. 4E, *IF* it ever happens, will be the same thing 3E was. A new game that in no way negates the old one or can lessen your enjoyment of it. [/QUOTE]
