[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 3705623, member: 10177"] If 3E is as awesome as so many of you have said it is all these years, why are so many of you so happy to see 4E and saying its needed? I quit running 3E as a rules set two years ago. I won't be switching to 4E as a rules set, but at least it looks like the adventure/modules should still be useable, and it looks like PAizo, Necromancer, and Goodman will be able to stay in the module business. So that makes me happy. Plus the online gaming looks interesting, but it looks like the pricing will keep me using the free stuff I already use for online gaming. Looks like after 22 years I finally will not be moving on to the new edition of D&D. In terms of using it as my rules base. I'll be able/willing to be a player. Just like I have been about 3E for two years now. June of 2005 was the last time I DMed 3E. I haven't even played 3E for almost a year now. Whats really great is I haven't had this much fun playing/DMing since my early 2E days. So hello 4E! I'm too happy to get to know you well, but good luck on drawing in more RPGers! [/QUOTE]
