The premise of the game is utterly stupid, in all versions. However, as a game it may be fun. Therefore, the correct solution is to embrace the stupidity, and FFG should write an utterly absurd over-the-top Ollie-North-on-an-ether-binge early-80s-cold-war-retro type intro text that revels in...

agree with S'mon in practice this means - presenting the players with situations that are 'solveable' with player skill and then not letting them use that skill is Unfun. - throwing deathtraps at character-exploring-type players is Unfun (ie if you want 5 Int characters to be played like...

How about that old school favorite : spell material components Make the components for powerful spells expensive, rare, or just plain immoral As a refinement, you could tweak it so spells can be cast without components / or with substitute components - but at personal cost (damage, curses...

I like the Small Gods concept, but, I find it hard to imagine "Civilisation" without "Big Religions" with their "Big Gods".

You can whittle a reasonable grognard-satisficer out of d20.

I hope WOTC dont bring out a unified "5E" Better to make 2 games: - a 4.5E type game for the 4E fans - a revamped modular d20 system for everyone else.

I dont know and dont care about the importance of adventures to 4E. But I am sure that, were you to launch a new system or setting, a good early set of adventures would be vital. I want to see the mechanics or cool setting details in action. BTW, isnt the utterly useless sample adventure...

The advantage of parsimony is: its easier to add stuff than take it away.

I dont understand what this idea is supposed to achieve. It seems to have all the problems of a conventional railroad, but is far more complicated and fragile.
