Personally, I'm very excited about the new edition. Everything I have been reading is great. A lot of the stuff that I have issues with is being fixed, the changes all seem well thought out, and WotC has made me really want the new edition which is certainly a good thing.What I'm up in the air on is the current coverage for the game. Thanks to EN World (and Glyfair), we're getting a lot of information on 4e from various sources, but I feel that what we've gotten so far has been a bit too sparse for my tastes. They were saying that the internet age would be great for 4e to help get the info out to masses, but I don't think they are taking advantage of it at this point. If we didn't have the blogs to go off of (and from what I understand they weren't planned to continue after Gencon) we wouldn't have anything.I especially think that the D&D Insider website could be more informative. I'd like to see all of the art collected in one area, a really good FAQ, and definitely some of the articles that were around in Dragon prior to 3e's release especially the 10 Things to Play 3e Now article.When I see members of the EN World community collecting info into PDFs to distribute to the masses, it seems like WotC might be dropping the ball in some areas. It would have also been nice to know what selection process was in place for playtesters for 4e (was there even a selection process or did they just pull names out of a hat?) before it went down instead of saying yep, we're done. RPGA members should now be notified that they are selected to playtest 4e. I'd love to see a website kit like some companies do for MMOs or other video games that are coming out. That would be sweet. See here for an example of what I mean: <a href="http://www.warhammeronline.com/english/community/fansiteKit/" target="_blank">http://www.warhammeronline.com/english/community/fansiteKit/</a>They could start a fan art section on the D&D website, give us regular and scheduled updates (other then the blogs) so we know when things will be updated, and try and get the community involved. Isn't this what Gleemax and the Digital Initiative are for? I want to do something! I don't know if I'm being unfair or I'm just overly enthused and want info in an unrealistic timeframe, but I certainly have a need to do more then, "Keep playing D&D and enjoy your current campaign."What do you all think? I typically suck at polls, but I'll add one here and see how it goes.</blockquote>
