It is exciting to see a new edition of D&D that might make the game, mechanically, more able to replicate the kind of adventures and settings I want to DM2. It is exciting to see them dump artifacts, like mechanical aspects of alignment and the Great Wheel, that IMO needed to be cast into a volcano long ago.3. There are some really good points to the SAGA system and I think these rules can help D&D dramatically4. D&D 3.5 is a bloated beast that is a nightmare to DM at high levels because of the tedious combat.....combats that take too long and cut into the session too much are unfun.5. If they can make the mechanics in the game more transparent at high levels so that the game is more fun at high level then this is great6. Dumping 3.5's Christmas Tree Effect is fantastic7. Making a more definitive difference between devils and demons is IMO a good idea.8. Talent trees replacing PrCs is a good thing. PrCs have become an abused concept. Supposedly a DMs tool to add flavorful classes unique to their setting they became too prominant part of the game.9. As a FR fan, I believe FR needs a reboot.10. Ditching the Vancian magic system for the most part thereby making wizards more like those of fiction and myth11. Combat abilities for warrior that a DM can weave into the setting as setting specific combat styles...I will leave out spell-like powers for warriors in my game however if these are in the rules.12. That the weapon you choose matters. etc, etc, etc,Also, squash the insults. Don't even attempt to characterize those of us who look forward to 4e as lemmings. I see lemmings among those who are manufacturing doomsday scenarios the SAME way they did for 3e before it was released. I see ignorant, petty, thoughtless insults leveled at designers by individuals who couldn't design their way out of a wet paper bag. I see WoTC, the company that saved D&D from extinction and created the OGL being demonized as money-grubbing anti-gamer corporate scum and so on and so on.I used to do marketing for my own company so I can differentiate between hype and substance. What I have listed above are mechanical and lore changes I agree with outside of the hype.Sundragon</blockquote>
