{Not sure if this has already been discussed; I've been gone so many months now.} . . .
So, for those of us who play a system that is not 3E, such as The Grimcleaver System or my own Dynamic Story D&D, what are we doing now?
Are we looking at 4E to see what we want to add? Are we playtesting Paizo's D&D for a change of pace? Are we conscientious observers of Paizo's revised D&D but still playing our own?

Wow. I got my name on a post! Woo-hoo!
As for what I'm doing? Everything, really. I'm looking forward to 4e with great anticipation. I'm going to be running the module for D&D Day and am really excited (and stagefrighty!) My hope with 4e is to run it as its own thing--a totally different game, which I will probably add my own Grimcleavery rules to. I already have a few cooking. I really enjoy it as its own thing though.
Same with Pathfinder. I've been prepping an Osirion set Pathfinder game for this Thursday, and when we make characters we're going to do them mostly Grimcleaver, but with healthy doses of the Pathfinder rules thrown in there. There is a lot of really good stuff in there. There's other stuff I will never ever touch. Gaining a hit point for taking your favored class, for example, will never happen.
That said, I plan to keep on doing Grimcleaver 3.0 games as well. I love the old settings, and now it makes sense for them to have their own rules set. Greyhawk, Darksun, Mystara, Spelljammer, Planescape. I hope to keep playing them all until the books fall apart.
Heck all this 4e hooplah has gotten me interested in going back to AD&D and doing some games there too. Sometime in the misty future I would love to a Dangerous Journeys game--using Gary Gygax's original Greyhawk cosmology. That would be a blast!
