I couldn't even count the amount of money that I've spent on D&D editions over the years. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 3.5. With that said, I've viewed 2nd, 3rd, and even 3.5 as improvements on the system, and never had an issue with buying. 4th edition? Maybe it's me becoming a cynical old man, but it seems more about selling books than improving a game that I've enjoyed for twenty-plus years. That and it appears to be an attempt to turn D&D into WoW or Evercrack. Not really the game I play, otherwise I would be playing Wow. So, no 4th Edition for me. Also, the last I checked none of my friends were planning on buying it either. Lord knows there will be plenty of used 3.5 books on the market for years to come to keep us in business.
