My character was the most 4E like but I saw all the editions in what was represented around the table and in the adventure itself. And with that, some of the new ideas mentioned by Wizards in the seminar.I didn't expect new mechanics (as reported by Wizards in the seminar) and I didn't expect to like them if they showed up. The new mechanics mentioned in the seminar worked at the table in my opinion and I was actually glad to see them. I was surprised that what Wizards talked about in the seminar had never been in the game before.  The weirdest thing was, I meant to really study the sheets, memorize things, try to see how things ticked just to satisfy my curiousity. But I ended up having so much fun I didn't care so much about all the individual rules. That surprised me, I expected a playtest to be a bit dull and unpolished. Instead, I got swept up and lost track of a few hours in a hobby I enjoy. I can't remember the last time that happened to me! That's why I think when the playtest docs come up people will be able to make an informed decision.</blockquote>
