Didn't we already have these word kindles one, I think shortly after the release? It's still fun.
4E loves Powers, 3E loves Spells. Seems to fit.

I like how the genre screams, "If you are not a caster, you are ****ed."
I think that Conan, Ffahrd, Aragorn and a whole host of other non spellcasters would disagree with you.

Exactly. In 4e spells are now just a kind of attack.

I like how the 4e cloud screams "If it's not combat-related, it doesn't matter."

Well the DMG one that Nightson posted doesn't seem to be working for me right now, but it certainly had adventure. I think it just shows that the PHB is a far more technical rules manual, and the DMG is the "ideas" book.I'm kind of disappointed -- but not surprised (which is maybe even more disappointing) -- at how sterile these are. No sign of "adventure", "quest", "villain", "story", etc.
Dreams for 5e, I suppose.

Both word clouds struck me that way. The 4E DMG word-cloud is more story related. "Characters" is the biggest word. "Adventure" is the third.

The only large word that isn't combat-based in 3e is "check", which is also moderately prominent in 4e.
I'm with previous posters that think that the spell/power lists screw this up.

Which is why I'm interested in a word cloud that covers only character-creation chapters. I'm quite sure that 4E has more RP-related material in there than 3E does.
