Will you buy 4th edition?

[Mistwell]

Odd wording in this poll. There is a "probably not buy it", but no "probably will buy it", for example.

I already have the basic three books on pre-order at Amazon.

Now; the question of if my gaming group is going to switch or not is completely different...

Buying it is one thing, playing it is another.

I'm debating on using the online SRD (assuming it's available) to playtest for a small while before deciding.

I shifted from "after a few reviews" to "probably not, but might eventually".

I don't know, I'm just getting a bad feeling about it. What I've seen so far doesn't excite me. Plus the guys I play with are completely against it, so that doesn't help.

I'll check out the SRD and reviews and I'll probably start by seeing if I can push some of the rule changes into my game now as a test bed. Maybe 1-2 years after release I'll make the jump, but we'll see.

I didn't want to change the wording of the original poll so as to not skew the results in some way.

Fair enough, that makes sense.

Given how much I already know about 4e and how much I will know by the time the books are released, calling it "sight unseen" would be an exaggeration, but, yes, I do intend at this time to buy at least the PHB as soon as it is released.

I'll be 3.5-ing it for the forseeable future. I like to check out the 4e stuff for ideas. I read the 4e boards. But given the existence of the SRD I seriously doubt I will be buying any D&D books for some time, having loaded up on excellent wholesale 3.5 books.

I'm very likely going to get it, but (at least at this point) not without checking the reviews first.
