[QUOTE="maggot, post: 4049712, member: 1005"] Basically, the new approaches, setting, races, etc. don't appeal to me. The new edition feels too much like a whole new game: new rules, new setting, new races, new monsters, new characters. I'm not looking for a whole new game. I might be looking for tweaks to the existing game, but I'm not after a whole new one. (Aside: That's why I'm excited about Monte's house rules. I would also have been excited about a less comprehensive overall of the D&D experience.) I've invested time and money in 3.E that won't be easily repeated. I've developed an ease with 3.E that comes from years of experience running it. Switching to 3E was compelling because 2E was so bad I had given up D&D and fantasy RPGs in general. But for 4E, there is no compelling reason to switch for me at all. In fact, the time and money investment makes choosing 4E less than compelling. The fact that I don't care for the 4E direction makes it an easy call. [/QUOTE]
