Message: <blockquote data-quote="Insight" data-source="post: 4101324" data-attributes="member: 11437">Haha, true indeed!  I deemed your post valuable enough to quote.  How about that for a value judgment?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> And of course, you don't always make choices just because you think the choice you made is "good" (whatever that means).  When you were in school, you didn't read the assigned textbook because it was a great read; you did so because it was required as part of the curriculum.  In the case of 4th ed, if you want to stay current and play the officially supported version of the D&D rules, you need to play 4th ed.  It's not a value judgment at this point -- it's a necessity.  But honestly, most people don't play 3rd ed because it's the officially supported version, and they won't switch to 4th ed for that reason.  They play 3rd ed and will switch to 4th ed because they like it.  You could still play 2nd ed or 1st ed if you want; the books still exist and are fairly easy to acquire.  At this point, in terms of what's been released, if you've seen something that horribly offends you, and you know with certainty that you cannot ever consider playing 4th ed because of it, by all means, you are welcome to that opinion (strange as it might be).  Likewise, if you've seen something that is so bloody awesome that you can't wait for 4th ed to be released and you'll be screaming from the hilltops til it does, that's fine too.  Again, rather strange, but you're welcome to that opinion.But I believe that the vast majority of us are waiting with either some optimism or some skepticism, without committing 100% one way or the other, until we can read the PHB and make a final judgment.</blockquote>
