Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nellisir" data-source="post: 4050609" data-attributes="member: 70">Expanding on my previous reply, now that I'm a little more coherent....I actually like alot of what I'm hearing about 4e.  I think the fluff changes are nice, and the planar changes are actually right in line with stuff I was doing or considering for my own campaign.  The amount of fluff that's apparently written into the core does concern me, however (and by this I mean racial origin stories, not planar relationships).The mechanics also seem interesting. The diagonal issue isn't an issue for me.  Smoother combats would be great.  Dragonborn and tieflings aren't a natural fit for my campaign, but I could work them in.  So, like I said, I'm planning on buying the (first) core books and some supplements.  Playing it by ear, if you will.  I'd like to see the Martial Power sourcebook.This is a big one for me.  I've got well over a thousand dollars, maybe over two thousand, in 3x pdfs alone.  My print library is similar or larger.  I look at that, and I look at my (post-buying spree) daughter, and my bills, and I just can't justify throwing out that much of an investment. I can't resell pdfs, and with the change from the OGL to the GSL, it's unlikely I'll be able to legally take OGC from the 3rd-party books & pdfs I have and upgrade it to work with 4e.  My wiki is OGL compatible, and even though I'm not a "publisher", I like it legal.  Gives me reassurance that I'm not abusing some company's policy towards fan material.Finally, while I've had the True20 rules for awhile, I've only just started really exploring it, and I've discovered that it's got the right mix of structure and customization for me.  I can easily define custom roles and paths for my campaign, and I can use my OGC library for new material.  Also, the cost for players to join is significantly less (I expect a pdf of the new core True20 book will be $15-$20 or so).  And, finally, I can start tweaking True20 right now.   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
