[QUOTE="Radiating Gnome, post: 5891847, member: 150"] I'm looking forward to the playtest because I hope it will change a lot of the discourse in the D&D Next forums -- here and elsewhere. Not that I think the rancor will go away -- we're passionate nerds with smelly feet, we'll bitterly disagree and snipe at each other as long as there are interwebs on which to do it. But I think it will be a great relief to ratchet down a lot of the more dramatic *new* mechanics ideas that are being pitched and kicked around. I think there will be innovation in the playtest and in DDN, but I don't think it's going to look much like the very dramatic changes suggested by some of the posters over in the DDN forums. We'll be able to talk about what's actually in the draft, and that will be a relief. I'm sorry to see Monte go -- but after a year working on the project, I can't help but imagine that his influence on the finished product will be quite strong. It's not like they're going to yoink out his ideas root and branch in the final hour. -rg [/QUOTE]
