[QUOTE="Helpful NPC Thom, post: 8320575, member: 7031378"] Switching to a new edition depends entirely on the changes in the new edition. For instance, when Savage Worlds released their newest edition, Adventure Edition, my group and I readily embraced the changes. The system is largely backwards compatible with the old rules set, the changes to the game were extensively playtested, and almost every tweak to the rules has been well-received an overwhelmingly positive. On the other hand, when a new edition involves drastic changes or modifications to the playstyle, I'm less inclined to embrace change. Our group initially transitioned from D&D 3.5 to Pathfinder, but we were disinclined to migrate to Pathfinder 2e, instead choosing 5e for the simpler ruleset. In our view, D&D 5e is more similar to D&D 3e and Pathfinder than Pathfinder 2e is. Not to mention, the DMs (myself and my husband, Ryan) are big fans of some of the design decisions, like bounded accuracy, which is something we've been talking about for years before 5e coined the term. Guess WotC will have to hire us on as the next lead developers. ;) [/QUOTE]
