[QUOTE="Tovec, post: 5874508, member: 95493"] Personally the "focus on shorter games" worries me. Does it mean that they will be working more intently on shorter games or does it mean that shorter games will get the line share of attention? What do they mean by shorter games in the first place, do they mean short sessions or short campaigns? Both worry me. Emphasis on short campaigns is really not the direction I would like them to go if only because a simple set of sessions or adventures has been fairly easy to string together, but making a fully envisioned campaign is something that has eluded me after years of DMing. Next, if they mean short sessions this bothers me too, as most of our games are around 6-8 hours long, not 1-3 as seem to be discussed more and more by WotC lately. As for everything else techno compiled (please somebody XP him for me) I find it to be VERY subjective. I think most of those things, the ones we haven't heard yet, are going to depend largely on the system as a whole at the time of release. A lot of them are relative or none too descriptive. Such as "Will not let the wizard overpower martial classes." and "About 20% done and on 4th iteration of DND Next." Doesn't really tell us anything about anything. That's all i have to say about that. --Forrest Gump [/QUOTE]
