I'm a 4e fan myself and I feel that with the separation of the forums, topics like this are no longer really the flame-bait they once were.If you had thrown 4e in front of me two years ago and said, "Whattaya think?" I probably would've flipped through it and gone, "Meh, it's not D&D," much like a lot of people have, and still do, in regards to the new edition.Having given up on 3e and previous to its release, having given up on all previous editions of D&D, I was, however, on the look-out for something to scratch the D&D itch. I toyed with a few systems but never found anything that grabbed me.So during the gradual course of 4e's release, I slowly became accustomed to it and gave it more of a chance than I would've had I just picked up the book out of the blue with no lead-up or prolonged exposure to it.And I'm really glad I did.But this brings up two convergent possibilities for me for when 5e comes around. On one side, I'm now quite happy with 4e and have no reason to look for anything new. Much like people who were happy with 2e are still playing it, or 3e, or even BECMI, they've found their niche and stuck with it.I could quite happily buy up all the books if DDI ever went offline and make sure I kept back-ups of the CB and MB and could feasibly run and play in 4e games till the day I die.But what if I didn't give 4e a chance? Then I would never have known it was my favourite edition. Again, if you'd asked me if I wanted powers usable per encounter or day, I probably would've scoffed. 4e was the edition I didn't even know I wanted.So when 5e comes around... will I give it a chance? Or will I simply be happy with 4e and not bother?These are the questions I ask myself, and so now ask you as well.</blockquote>
