Default Re: Metric? Keep or change?

Amazing how a simple thing can get so convoluted.

I also think that the archaic system have some fantasy flavor and may be better for potential new players as most will be from USA.

But I also believe that a change, any change, comes at a cost and may bring future problems in proof reading needing errata (because some monster ability is in meters instead of yards for example), and many things beside (descriptions of Cidri changing because some distances for references where wrongly converted, for example). So, unless there is a lot of agreement and support for the archaic system it is easier, cheaper, and safer, to keep using the original system, metric.

At the end of the day it will have very little impact, so why change it? again, unless there are lots of support for the change, maybe during the kickstarter campaign more people will voice their opinion.
