[QUOTE="TwinBahamut, post: 5870309, member: 32536"] They continue to realize my worst fears... A laser focus on a "core game" built for the fighter/wizard/cleric/rogue team with only humans, elves, dwarves, and halflings as the races is a terrible way to go about the designing the game and building it to leave room for more race and class concepts. The "we'll just write the variant rules later" approach is not the way to build a modular game. If you want modularity and flexibility, the only way is to build in all the major modules and the needs of those modules into the game from the very beginning. Also, saying "we're borrowing somethings you like from 4E!" to answer the first question isn't going to be very persuasive when they are outright rejecting (or even completely misunderstanding!) the core tenets of 4E's design with the second question (and elsewhere). I really hope I'm wrong about all of this, but it is becomingly ever more visible that I'm right the more I read. [/QUOTE]
