[QUOTE="WayneLigon, post: 3709266, member: 3649"] I just bought an MMV and Expedition to Ravenloft :) At some point, I might try to eBay or put the earlier edition on z-shops (Hey, all these people that are saying they won't buy 4e will need somewhere to get books), but I'll pretty much accept it. We've never been big on conversion, or using older material. Usually it's 'older' for a good reason; it didn't work as well. So far, it looks like there will be some very attractive features to the new system, but I'll wait and see what happens with it. We'll probably all convert at some point, and I've never really consider Conversion a feature. I want things to be different. If I were in charge of the whole thing, there would be parts that would be significantly better and would bear no resemblance to the previous edition. So all in all, it's still a gradual change, something that must be done to make millions of fans comfortable. Right now we're in the first third of a campaign that I'm predicting will last until about April or so, maybe a bit longer. (When 3.5 came out, it took us 2 years to get into it; we'd just started an Arcana Unearthed game which lasted for a little over a year, and then went to Mutants and Masterminds for about the same time). After that, we'll probably go to either Mutants and Masterminds, Monte Cook's World of Darkness, or pick up Arcana Unearthed again. We'll want a change from D&D fantasy for a bit. So it's unlikely we'll be first adopters. I look at it like this. Tonight, it's likely I'll go to a nice restaurant and have a meal. Like as not, that and what I'll have tomorrow will total what I'd have spent on a 3.5 book, and it'll be [I]gone [/I] the next day. [/QUOTE]
