You left off the option for people that will not buy 4E unless it is guaranteed to be closed. Also your interpretation "do you want 307 actual sales or do you want 461?" is laughable and unscientific. It is obvious that there is a huge market for a fresh outlook on an old RPG system, one that...

No I don't think it's worrying that none of the 3rd parties have seen the OGL yet. I'm sorry for all those players that popped a tent when the Book of Erotic Fantasy went live, but for the most part 3rd party sources are crap and they produce sub-standard products. None of the big gaming...

This entire argument is ridiculous. The sports analogy works perfectly; if the OP was ever involved in such an endeavor, he would realize that it is simply not possible to excel during every single moment of the day. Use statistical analysis to determine how often a person can make a truly...

No confirmed information has been released, yet.

Lies! We all know that you lost your mana-cherry back in 6th grade, when Richard Garfield unleashed his destructive tide of nerdcore upon the USA!

Since it's so popular to use Blizzard analogies to explain 4E, I present to you: Diablo II Barbarian! Controllor/striker hybrid, using a combination of AoE battlecries to buff the party or debuff the adds, and maybe some sunder or trip-style maneuvers to make things interesting.

If our group plays the sample campaign: Halfling Paladin. (Unless we are able to ascertain enough to be able to pick races, in which case I'll probably be human or dwarf). When 4E is officially released: Dragonborn Warlord, hollah hollah! (Not only because it is conspicously absent from the...

Ding ding ding, we have a winner. This whole discussion has a lot more to do with how people behave at the table rather than what the RAW will allow the Warlord to do in the next edition. I mean, there were truckloads of terrible, party-harming decisions possible in 3E and most of us survived...

Hell no... if I ever want to play 3E again it will be by myself and an ancient computer running NWN 1. 3.5 was ok, but not my idea of a good time. Here's looking forward to 4E!

Saving the best for last. Go dragonborn warlords!! But honestly I assume the reason those characters didn't make it the playtest is that they still need polishing, or perhaps they are waiting on the results of additional playtest data. I'm content to wait until the core books are released to...

I couldn't be happier that the overpowered utility spells like Fly and Greater Invis Sphere have been nerfed. Those wizard spells that allow bypassing of encounters and plot points need to get out of D&D and back into the 1980s where they belong. New game, new edition, new audience, new...

Yes! This is absolutely 100% correct.

I can't wait to see signs like these posted in comic shops across America this year. Just need a healer and group is good to go! :cool: (For those hopelessly lost, LFM is the coolest way possible to advertise that your group is "looking for more" to engage in monster killing in a instanced...

I think WotC is doing an excellent job from what I've seen so far. The evidence of a fair compromise is that no single party feels 100% satisfied.

I've always wanted to play a Paladin with rules that were simple, straightforward, unconstraining, and liberating. I am sure 4E will provide a better paladin experience for me, whether that be CG or LE. Just let me play a character with a minimum of "RP god communication" and I'll be happy...
