Asinjin:
I want to note, that based on the rule sheet I have read online, switching to the new edition would require a significant forward jump in the time frame...which would mean the vast majority of current characters would not be able to be played.

That could change when the full version is released, but based on the 30 or so pages I read so far, that is the case.

Terrorshard:
Switching editions is a pain.  It is the same pain as cleaning out a hoarders attic.  It is a pain we don't want to go through.  But it is a pain we are better off for when it is all over.  A fresh set of rules, some fresh character designs and ideas, and some fresh content.  I'm all for it assuming it isn't terrible, which from what I have read, I don't think it is.

whitesword:
I don't have a lot of interest in learning a new set of rules but more importantly I don't have any interest in discarding all of the story lines I have worked on for the last ten years as both a player and DM.

If you consider all the work we have put to paper we have barely scratched the surface of using it in game play.

Asinjin:
Not advocating either stance here, just giving information:

We would have to prematurely end some stories, but not all as it would take one to two years to convert.  So we would have time to wrap of some things, perhaps 40-50%.

For those of you who like epic level adventures, a switch would decrease those, as we are now just getting in to some of them in the current campaigns.

It may seem early to address this, however, this sort of change would require years of preparation on my part, so the sooner I know, the better.
