So the question then becomes does 4e feel more like a tactical board game than other role-playing games when played in the same fashion (pre-gen chars, combat scenario).

I'd say sticking with 3.5 satisfies the most of your concerns.

I'm hoping for an arse power source so I can play William Wallace.

And with an even shorter description.

I liked the article. But the best part was the April Fool's banner from Wizards D&D site.

Wikipedia in its infinite capacity for cranial-rectal inversion has decided that a page on Torg is not noteworthy. Hopefully someone who is a better researcher/editor than me can provide the appropriate relevance: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torg

3.5 without splatbooks
