[QUOTE="Scribble, post: 3764349, member: 23977"] Ok first... nice Spinal Tap refference. :D Not really... I mean we're getting info on what they're doing. We know the wizard will have a whizbang, and the warrior will have a kerplow... Why tell us more? Telling us less lets us know something will be done, but not what, therefore, we're hungry for more info. We're waiting chomping at the bit hoping for just a little more info... It's in effect doing what a good preview should do. Making us want the final version. Like watching a good movie trailer, and thinking: "I so totally have to see this movie..." They don't show you the entire movie or even the entire plot... Just random out of sequence snippets of total awesome. Not really... I doubt critics will be able to "steal" D&D from D&D... I don't think WW decision to release the SS stuff was based ona plan to crush WOTC... It was just a plan to get a jump on the market and sell more of their d20 stuff then other people... I'm sure WOTC was very happy they did it too... I meant the plan was working... Sure... but check out a car commercial sometimes... You'll see cars whipping around curves and pictures of sexy leather interiors... Then what they're doing is working... You already want the game before it's even been published... [/QUOTE]
