[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 8318063, member: 13703"] I went from AD&D to 3E as soon as it came out and switched to 3.5E as soon as that came out. However, I skipped 4E completely (although a player in my group DM's a couple of 4E campaigns for other players in my group - I didn't play in it as I couldn't fit a second game into my schedule). For me switching or not depends on where I think the rules system is at. When 4E came out my group was still perfectly happy with the 3.5E rules set, so we saw no reason to change. All the books I owned for 3.5E also meant I had quite a sunk cost that I was in no hurry to give up. However, when 5E came around in 2014, we'd played 3.5E for long enough to see where the cracks were in the rule set were, knew where the system struggled and where it excelled and were ready for a change. Whether we switch over to 6E when it comes out at some unknown point in the future will depend on how much we're enjoying the rule set at the time. For now we're still really enjoying 5E and would be happy to play it for a few more years to come. [/QUOTE]
