Just as in the 'why are you still here' thread, I think we can all be civil and not let this one degenerate. The key to this preservation will lie in posters' willingness to not criticize the reasons given.I am not switching because:1) Learning a new ruleset is a pain in the butt, first and foremost.2) Switching is cost prohibitive in that I would lose both money and players.3) I have seen little that cannot be 'cribbed' into 3.5 with a minimum of effort on my part. In fact, the mental exercise in conversion may well prove more intellectually satisfying than playing it as written.4) I am entering a period of my life where I would rather invest in good board games than good role playing games.5) I am naturally contrarian and will enjoy leaving the "mainstream" of this hobby.6) If gnomes aren't cool enough for 4E PHB, I'm not either.7) Based on what I have read and seen, I do not believe that my DM'ing style is suited for the 4E rules, though I admit this is a weak reason because I haven't seen the entirety of the system yet.8) I just subscribed to d20srd.org and haven't gotten a chance to use my coupon for a free rez. Not going to leave that money on the table.9) In 5 years, I have bought a lot of stuff. I still have too much fun left to wring out of 3.5 before I could seriously think about switching.10) Even then, I would be more apt to buy and play GURPS, particularly if the Studio Foglio's Girl Genius book EVER COMES OUT.I actually have a lot more reasons than this (and a lot more reasons than I initially thought I had). I think this sums it up and would justify my position to any right-thinking member of this forum.</blockquote>
