Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mark Hope" data-source="post: 4050291" data-attributes="member: 27051">My reasons for not switching have very little to do with 4e itself, and plenty to do with 3e.I'm not done with 3e by a long shot.  I have loads of material I have barely used and am looking forward to many happy years playing this stuff.  Its flexibility is a big draw for me and I see no reason to change from something I am happy with.  Plus I can't justify added expenditure when what I already have works fine for my needs.  3.5 alive!From the 4e side, I just haven't been wowed by what I have read.  Simple as that.  And I'm not keen on the discarding of the classic D&D cosmology and changes to the assumed setting.  I didn't always use it, but I liked it a lot and think it's a shame that it has fallen by the wayside.Oh, and I was irritated by the cancellation of Dragon and Dungeon and those elements of 4e marketing that tried to tell me that I wasn't having the right kind of fun, or that 3e was broken when I didn't think that it was.  These issues left a sour taste in my mouth that I have come to associate with 4e.  This isn't entirely rational of me but the effects of PR, good or bad, rarely are.  Oh well.Still, there are clearly plenty of folks who are stoked about 4e and more power to them.  I have always hoped that fans of D&D can still hang out by the water-cooler and swap tall tales of high adventure, regardless of edition.  This thread gives me encouragement in that regard <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.</blockquote>
