D&D 4E Will you buy 4e?

[Sejs]

I would take the same position with 4e as I did with 3e, back in the day: I will wait and see, raid it like a viking on amphetamines, take what I want and husk the rest.

If 4e turns out to be something I like more than the current system, then I will make the jump.

And not a moment before.

Short and sweet folks, If 4e Came out in 2008 or 2009 will you buy it?
Would you buy supplements and splats?

A question is missing: Would you buy only if an SRD is available? That would make my answer "Probably. Core books only."

If 4E is closed without SRD, I wouldn't even open the cover, much less buy it. Basically, I need 4E about as much as I needed another hole in my head. I did need and want 3E, and I welcomed 3.5, but one of the last things that I want or am seeking right now is yet another new rules system. As for supplements and splats - I can't keep far enough away from them.

 

[Lord Belgar]

I like the 3.5 rules. I really can't see how they can change or add anything that would change the game all that much....

I am not sure whether I am gonna jump on the 4.0 bandwagon yet. I am a Forgotten Realm fan so I will probably continue to buy the source material...

we know nothing about 4.0... so meh....

I have bought some 3.5e supplements - both WotC and third party, but I have never bought 3.5e core books (PHB, DMG, MMI). Instead I continued with 3e until the SRD came out, read it in its entirety, then (mostly) made the switch, using the SRD (with some modifications, of course).

When 4e comes out I'll read reviews about it, read its SRD when it comes out - if it comes out, and then I will decide. If there is not an SRD, then I will not consider playing it.

 

[w_earle_wheeler]

I might buy it, but as the DM for two groups, I know my player's probably won't.

And I won't push them into buying it. I have enough 3.5 material to last me another 5 years.

When the first "revision" of 4th edition is released, we'll probably make the change then.

 

[Agamon]

Buy the Core Books? Maybe to Probably. Play it? Not for a few years, I don't think.

 

[JoeyD473]

I'd be pissed if a 4th edition came out before 2010, but I would definetly buy the COre books, to at the very least see the changes. If I like it I'd buy supplements. However if I had to guess, it will be mini heavy and that I don't like

 

[Nathan P. Mahney]

I'll buy the corebooks for certain. I may not play it, but I'm sure that even if I decide to stick with 3e there'll be stuff I can pillage from the new edition.

 

[Nyeshet]

Considering how mini heavy it is all but certain to be, are we really sure that 4e will not be a board game? :\

I haven't bought 3.5, why would I buy 4.0? I am happy with the 3.0 edition I am using.

Would you buy supplements and splats?

Most likely not, especially if they make it difficult to use with older editions.
