Message: <blockquote data-quote="cougent" data-source="post: 3923452" data-attributes="member: 48665">I started out firmly in the "No way in hell will I buy it" camp, but have since packed up my tent and moved to "fence sitterville" instead.The only thing I know right now is that I will be waiting until about this time next year to decide.  I will be reading the new books at my LGS as much as I can starting in June, but I am not buying anything until I have read them and seen reviews from others, and play test reports from other than WotC employees... I mean really, are you going to tell the guy who signs your paycheck that this new [whatever] really sucks?I am a serious doubter for the DI, or DnDI, or whatever acronym it is this week BUT I hope to be proven wrong.  If it does all that it is billed to do and if it is $10 a month... then sign me up!  My fear is that it will not do nearly what they claim it will do, or that it will be $20 a month or more either of which will be a deal breaker for me.I like the idea of faster play and better rules, not just easier but truly better.  I like the idea of no sweet spot and math that works all the way to level 30.  I like many of the "ideas" of 4E, but I also want to see them in action and not just hear how great they are from [payrolled] testers.Their are things that I just don't like also...  PHB, MM, DMG every year "seems" like a money grab more than a real benefit to the game.  Is there really going to be SO much new material they couldn't put it in 1 book?  Even one over sized book at more than $40 but significantly less than $120?  I like a world setting, and "points of light" just doesn't a world make for me, I am not stuck on Greyhawk, but I want a campaign world that is more mapped than unmapped.  This may be easily solved by going the FR route, but I would prefer it in core as well.  From what has been discussed thus far, the whole premise seems much darker than I like as well.  I may be a stodgy old foagie but I like playing good heroes against an evil villain, not quasi-evil heroes against other even more evil villains, just not my idea of fun.[Reminds me too much of a real life corporate job]So here on the fence be I.  I neither loathe nor love the game so far.</blockquote>
