[QUOTE="Vyvyan Basterd, post: 5782572, member: 4892"] NOTE: You mistakenly attributed my comments to Jhaelen. I'm basing my thoughts on the comments that they intend to take "the best of all editions." The pieces of the rules will be familiar and the playtest will show what the majority prefers in the core. The new innovation will be something that allows quick and easy conversion between varying systems. Or maybe that conversion system will be the basis of the core. That's definately a possibility if things come to that. But I would miss the ease of DDi. I copy-paste monster stat blocks directly from the Compendium and save myself alot of time. It will depend upon my "gaming environment" if I ever need to cross that bridge. I understand the negativity more than I do the absolutism. There are already plenty of people saying that they 'must do this', 'can't do that', or 'this will never work' before seeing anything. I think they have an extremely difficult task at hand and [B]I[/B] see no way to accomplish the task they've set themselves, but I'll hear them out over the ideas they've come up with to reach this goal. I hope they aren't setting the sights with no game plan in mind, but even the tiny tidbits they've given us suggest they've at least begun the seed of an idea to accomplish what they are shooting for.
