They better not ditch psionics in 4E. Bastards.

Levels 1-30? Crap. Are they ditching epic rules too?

This 4E thing is just getting worse and worse. They're turning my beloved D&D into a goddamn video game.

Damn you WotC. Just damn you.

this does not 4bode well.

i 4cast that this will be all too common a problem.

i wonder how much they have invested in hardware and bandwidth.

I don't know...I do respect Bruce Cordell for what he did...but the whole sales-pitch that is quted here only makes me want to take a big step aside and let the 4E train rush past me without giving it a glance.

Maybe it's just me, but "Hey, this is the SAME thing you are playing right now, only different enough to sell you everything all over again, more streamlined, sexy, cool and polished, and 50% of the concept is including a medium you're not interested in" simply doesn't entice me at all. :lol:

Actually, it's a head-shake to hear somebody associate the word sexy to anything connected to an RPG book/rule.

But as I said...maybe it's just me. :\

Wow. It's like 2000 all over again.

Oh, and 2003.

D&D 4th edition Core Rulebooks -- $100+
Digital Initiative/Dungeon/Dragon -- $18/month*
First Impression of the 4E/DI Age: "Service Unavailable" -- Priceless

*just guesstimating

EDIT: OK, to be fair, I've finally (6 1/2 hours later!!!) read and seen some of the elements of $E and the DI, and I think they show promise. The virtual tabletop was especially impressive. Then again, MasterTools showed some real promise back in the day....
