Are they just as misguided? Anyway, I'm one of those people that for the most part will not be switching over to 4E. I'm still very interested in 3.5 and plan on running a 3.5 game with the thousands of dollars of 3E /3.5 material that I have on my shelves and on my computers. One thing that I feel needs to be clearly communicated at some point down the line is whether or not we'll be able to use our 3E books with 4E. If so, great it won't be that much of a loss. If not, say so in no uncertain terms. Andy Collins during the video podcast inferred that  it makes no sense to convert a character from 3E to 4E. They're just that different. What I want to know is what about adventures? Dungeon Magazine adventures, Expedition to Castle Greyhawk, etc. What about books like the Complete Series or Tome of Magic / Battle? Will I still be able to use a 3E statted monster vs. 4E characters. These are the sort of thing that may be the deciding factor in making someone like me (and I'm certain a fair number of others, maybe not on this board where people seem to be overwhelmingly in favor of a new edition and willing to set heretics on fire <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ) actually consider picking up the 4E rules to at least see what it's all about as opposed to my position now, which is that 4E is going to invalidate all of the 3E product. *and yes, I know no one is going to come over to my house and take all of my 3E product. That's not what this is about, so in advance, save it for someone else who hasnt figured that part out yet.I was originally excited about the DDI and was fully willing to pay up to $15 a month for it's usage. Now if its going to only support 4E game play then that would be a no. If it would support 3E as well you'd still have someone like me as a subscriber even though I would have very little use for a 4E DUNGEON / DRAGON Magazine. These are the type of things that I feel need to be communicated CLEARLY and DEFINITIVELY at some point. Not too soon after your crew knows, the potential customers should know. Just because right now I'm strongly opposed to switching to 4E doesn't mean that somewhere down the line you guys (meaning WOTC) might not say something or present something that would make me reconsider my point. Granted thousands of dollars of product is going to be a STRONG incentive to stay 3E, but it doesn't mean that there's NOTHING that will convince me or those like me.</blockquote>
