[QUOTE="PrecociousApprentice, post: 4249751, member: 61449"] So time to chime in. I am an old school gamer. I started with BECMI->AD&D->AD&D 2nd->3.x I was always trying to fix 3.x. It never worked quite right for me. There were things that I liked in 3.x mostly because they were a way to play besides the standard D&Disms (psionics were just a way to play a non-Vancian caster). When Book of Nine Swords came out I was ecstatic. Finally a way to play interesting warriors that weren't barbarians. These ideas were central to 4e. I think that I liked 4e before it came out. The fluff has always sucked. I came up with better worlds. Ebberon was the first that really intrigued me. It was meant to be cinematic and focussed on an interesting narrative with cool themes. This has continued into 4e. Many of my old school buddies are into 4e. I am not the only one that has lots of old school buddies that like 4e. Lizard seems to be coming around! So yes. 4e is obviously going to be a success. It already is. People are pre-ordering unprecedented amounts of books. WotC has adopted the revenue schemes of two very successful games (M:tG and WoW). Old gamers are excited and are coming back to the fold. And even the people who say they hate it are buying the books! It will be an interesting next year. We will see the majority of the fencers and the h4terz come to 4e. It happened in AD&D 2nd, 3.0, and 3.5. It will happen again. We will get to see if WotC can get some new blood. And hopefully 4e will be modular enough that I will be able to quit being frustrated with the system I play. [/QUOTE]
