[QUOTE="Kurotowa, post: 8318944, member: 27957"] Usually I make the jump to a new edition because usually a new edition is an iteration on the previous edition that attempts to address the problem areas the community has identified. Certainly, a new edition will have new flaws, but the thrill of discovery is nice and it's satisfying to have the old flaws that have been bugging me for years finally gone. Note the disclaimer of "usually" there. It's possible for a new edition to lose my interest, either by trying to go in a different direction I don't care for or through poor design work producing a shoddy product. Like many people in this thread, D&D 4e is a prime example of the former for me. It's just not what I want out of my D&D. It's also the main example I can personally offer because I haven't stuck with most other systems long enough to hit multiple edition changes. Other systems I'll dip in and out, often based on word of mouth, so I probably naturally avoid the bad editions without even meaning to. [/QUOTE]
