[QUOTE="kaomera, post: 3719395, member: 38357"] Me, personally: 3.5 is "New D&D". It's what the people I want to game with play, it's what all the new books I might buy run on. 3.0 Used to be "New D&D", but now it's not anymore. When 4e hits (and that pretty much means when The Keep on the Shadowfell is in my greasy paws) it will be "New D&D". However, I'm not exactly sure what that will mean, yet. None of my players are online much, as of Saturday they had basically no idea what was up with 4e. And with Dragon gone I'm not exactly sure how or how much they will find out. The D&DI stuff didn't seem to interest them as much as it does me, and while you don't need to be online to play 4e the online content is a big part of the product. I suspect that 4e will rock, and that most of these guys (and gals) will want on-board, just probably not right away. I suspect that we will wrap up the Iron Kingdoms game we're just now starting before moving on to 4e.
