Re: OT-D&D 4th edition game group?
The problem is that they're obsessing over rules and endless books of (typically over-powered) fluff, rather than a simple, quick-flowing rulesset that was more worried about players playing characters that were running around having grand adventures. I'm not going to be even remotely optimistic about fourth edition.
Chances are, I'll wait until I see what people over at the SA forums think, skim the book in the store, and...well, then I'll ultimately cannibalize the rules I like for my own version of the d20 system that I keep mangling to suit my own campaign world.

Re: OT-D&D 4th edition game group?
I must be old... we still play by the 2.5 rules... my group was so used with 2.5 that we voted to continue with it instead of upgrading to 3.0...

Re: OT-D&D 4th edition game group?
I've used a rules-light rules-set to run a game for a bit. I ended up having to invent a rules-heavy part to figure out what would happen.
And in a game I ran with no rules, I had to constantly fact-check everything, ending with burnout.

Re: OT-D&D 4th edition game group?
However, a good argument has difficulty resting on unsubstantiated opinions, so...
...How about we just start a game up when the books come out? That way, we'll know for sure.
* Narf, being logical. Where will it end?!

Logic and games don't mix. Trust me.

Re: OT-D&D 4th edition game group?
That would require buying the books, which is something that is antithetical to opinion forming.

I'm agreeing with you. I find your statement funny.
...I'm kinda worried about that. It might be a sign of the apocalypse!
