So, 4th edition Dungeons & Dragons is on its way in. It may already be here. I'm not quite sure. I haven't looked a whole lot into it yet, but this thread isn't necessarily just about 4th edition. It's about transferring to a new system.

I've always played 3rd edition. It had just come out when I started playing. I've invested a lot of money and time into 3rd edition material. I know the ins and outs of every book I've read. I DM a lot so that's important.

I play Vampire: The Masquerade sometimes also. They set up a new system and I didn't like it, so I never transferred to it. What I've read about 4th edition I do like though.

So, I guess my question is: What's the easiest way to go about transferring. Maybe there's some older players out there who transferred from earlier editions to third who can give me some advice.
