Yea, I don't think they're trying hard enough. Next week's WM column should be "D&D Next vs Pathfinder: Why We're Better".
I so hope they do this. But they should warn us first - I'd want to lay in a store of popcorn.

delericho said:A hugely frustrating article, I'm afraid. James Wyatt writes about something he's very clearly an expert in... and says nothing of consequence. Basically, they're keen to make sure you can continue doing whatever you have been doing... oh, and they're retconning bits of the FR pantheon but doing it in such a way that if you did make the change then that's good too.
Of course, I am somewhat biased in this regard; I just finished reading The Primal Order (now available in POD and PDF), which I think is the greatest book on gods in RPGs ever written, and this is the view it advocates (which I wholeheartedly agree with).
Religions in this context are much more easily defined from the top down, rather than the reverse.
I forgot how great of a job Eberron did in portraying different religions and this article reminded me of it. If you have multiple faiths, and they each grant miraculous powers, the focus should be on the nature of powerful beings, rather than if they exist or not.
