[QUOTE="JeffB, post: 3811146, member: 518"] I hear ya, tho I started to feel this way as 3.5 approached. 3.0 really started off well for me with the "improved rules, and healthy respect for the history of the game" attitude. But the direction of WOTC and its products changed and things got worse for me, and I no longer felt any real connection to the game or the staff of WOTC. Apparently these guys just didnt like the same things I did about D&D. I always went for OTHER RPGS when I wanted something "not D&D"...but these guys decided to "improve" D&D by making into a very different game. EDIT: I should note that I didnt always agree with Skip, or Monte or Tweet or Ryan, but I felt like these guys really did care about trying to adhere to D&D "history and themes". After the HAsbro buyout and everyone had left, thats when things really went downhill for me. Anyhoo...I'll give 4E a look just cos I'm not entirely closed-minded, but I have little faith in WOTC...very little. Especially when I read some of these designer BLOGs. I'd trust Erik Mona ANY day of the week over WOTC when it comes to giving me a good D&D product, and I'd buy Paizo's 3.75 in a heartbeat. He's always been a stand-up no BS guy. The partnership with Bill and Clark just makes it all the better. [/QUOTE]
