Why it’s okay to switch

I know everyone out there has their “top ten of reasons you should switch to 4e” or, alternately, “top ten reasons you shouldn’t switch”. I frankly don’t care either way, but for those out there who have all those 3.5 and 3e books and think “what’s going to happen to all my books?!” Take heart:

All your books still work.

I’ve been going through my 3e books (all 89 of them) and I’ve found a greater level of compatibility than I previously thought. Your Stronghold Builder’s Guidebook? Still works. With little to no modification, I might add.

Any weapons in the Arms and Equipment Guide? All it takes is adding a few keywords to the 3.0 weapon, and now it’s a 4.0 weapon. Your obscure Ultimate Prestige Classes Volume 2 by Mongoose Press?

Okay, for that, if you aren’t into major conversion, you should probably go onto the ENWorld forums and ask for some help on that.

But my general point is, your books are still usable and viable. It’s okay to switch.

No, really. It is.
