[QUOTE="Geron Raveneye, post: 4028490, member: 2268"] I can only advice to be up front with your players about where the campaign takes place, and what kind of flavour you're intending to give it, and which elements of the new edition you don't think fit in. Then go from there. On the other hand, if there is one thing every roleplayer should be able to, it's working around his own assumptions and get creative integrating new stuff into traditional settings. If one of your players really wants to play a e.g. dragonborn, and has a good backstory for it that also fits with your campaign flavour, you might try to give it a spin. Just as your players should be able to talk to you about the game, so should you with them, and if the experiment doesn't work out, you can still talk with the player in question to see if he'd go along with a more fitting character instead. If you think you'll like 4E, I'd say campaign world considerations should be not that insurmountable a stumbling block to pass it up. [/QUOTE]
