It feels like nostalgia is getting more credit that the fundamentals of game design. Lots of comments, like references to rolling 3d6 being the default or bringing back the Great Wheel, almost gives the impression that the designers want everyone to play the game the designer's way, rather than actually embracing what other kinds of players want from the game. It is enough to make me a bit worried.All that said, there is still a lot in there that makes me hopeful. They are doing some new stuff with the skill system and themes that seems interesting. I'm glad they finally moved over to the silver standard. Talk about removing the assumption magic items makes me hope against hope that they will actually remove +X items from the game. There are a lot of little things in there that really do sound good and fun.Overall, they've got a long way to go to convince me to buy the game, but I am curious enough that I really want to join the playtesting and see if they will listen to my feedback.</blockquote>
