D&D 4E Will you buy 4e?

[der_kluge]

So, now that it's official - will you buy it? What are your feelings?

If I could preorder it on Amazon today it would already be in my shopping cart.

Yeah, I'm sure I'll buy it.

IF I buy 4e, it'll be core only. I think I'll also avoid setting books despite how much I love Eberron. I'd rather try my hand at creating my own setting so I don't have to worry about researching someone else's setting.

On the other hand, I might keep going with 3.5e and do the same with all of the books I have. Maybe dump off my Eberron books and sell all the other books I barely use anymore.

I'm also hoping the PDFs will end up being dirt cheap like the pre-3e PDFs are.

I own OD&D, Moldvay/Cook Classic, Mentzer Classic, Holmes Basic, 1E, 2E, 3.0E and 3.5E. So I would be breaking precedent if I didn't, and would no longer own every edition of D&D.

That said... it depends. If they 4E is more like 1E than 3E, I'll buy it. If it continues to morph into some other game, I probably won't. Already, I don't really consider 3E to be "D&D". If 4E is really just "generic fantasy game with unified core mechanic", well, I don't need it.

Sure, I'd give it a shot.

I've had enough with the garbage that WoTC produces -- I have no intention of even considering 4th Edition.

I sold off all my 3x books except the Psychics handbook quite a while back so no I won't be buying 4e. I have switched to true 20 instead. It fits my needs a bit better

 

[MerricB]

Definitely getting it.

It'll be great.

Personally, I think we could probably end up calling it 3.75, but that'd sound stupid - I don't think there'll be too much difference between 3e and 4e.

Except, maybe they'll get rid of ability scores for monsters?

Cheers!
