Who really cares? Let that doddering fool stew in his self-righteousness. Ignore him; he's not worth paying attention to.

I'm certain wizards will still have the staples - Wall of stone, Hold Person, Fly, charm, spiderclimb, etc. But perhaps they won't get Dominate Monster, Shapechange, Gate, Create Greater Undead, Greater Shadow Evocation, PAO, Mass Invisibility, and the like - these will be relegated to the...

I'd actually prefer if they renamed 'Epic' as Mythic. Paragon is fine for 11-20, and Mythic seems better for 21-30.

Wow. What wit. You, sir, truly have, err, something, to do with, something. But yes, I believe there will be room for 3rd party publishers to survive in 4e.

Well, given that the stated design goals are to streamline the rules experience, I'd say we should give the designers a little good faith about it. Unless, that is, you're upset that WotC would dare to be excited about something they're working on, and would try to get you to buy it. Then it's...

First off, Wizards is not going to re-release 3e with hat in hand if you don't buy 4th edition. Sorry, buckos. Plus, the old cruftload of D&Disms blew. Hard. I want a reimagining of D&D, something new and different that works better. It looks like that's what we're getting in 4e. And I'm...

I hope the Wizard will have to choose Staff, Wand, or Orb at the outset, much like the Fighter will have to choose THF or 1H/Shield. That is, his chosen implement makes him better in the things he wants to do anyways, and the other things are there, but not as powerful as a specialist. You'll...

I just hope that there are lots of races in the MM glossary for me to mix and match. Not saying I dislike the Dragonborn from what I know, but I'd like to have tons of choices for my world.

I actually thought of this, too, while brainstorming for my first 4e campaign (though it came to me via werewolves, instead of vampires).

Dr. Akward, that's wrong. They were designing 4e for over two years before the announcement. People just think it's 'hasty' because WotC kept it so tight a secret for those entire two years.

Fantasy Game. Not Population Genetics Simulation.

:p I love it!

Well, look at what they've done. They've left out things that are amazingly tough nuts to crack temporarily as their last option, so they could bring them back in ways that both work well and are effective, rather than dumping a bunch of half-thought-out, broken, weak, game-breaking junk in the...

Pretty slim chances, I'd say. I'm going to lay down $5(US) of Fake Internet Boasting Money and say that the FR book will have its own Magical Traditions, grown out of existing FR lore, with their own rules in the same model as the ones in the PHB.

I'm super excited about the 'Most PCs will be unaligned', although I may put Allegiances or Affiliations back in instead of alignment.

Well, given that that's exactly their stated design goal here,, I'd say that they're succeeding pretty well.

Exactly. My halflings (in my campaign's starting region, anyways) are distrustful shepherds. It remains to be seen what foreign halflings will be like once the party moves beyond their hometown.

That's what I'm hoping, as well.

QFT. People are deathly afraid of multiclassing. It's funny, in a sad and pitiful way. Here's how I think 4e multiclassing will work: 1) Choose your base class. Here is where you get your starting bonuses - Defense bonuses, BAB bonuses, Magic bonuses, etc - and your starting feats/talents...

There's no way to be both flavorful and generic without <Adjective Noun> or <Compound Noun>. Get over yourselves.
