[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6328709, member: 22779"] I'm not really sure how you can view Tweet's comments as terribly edition warring. I mean, he's saying largely what 4e fans have been saying all the way along. 4e has some great innovations to add to the D&D family of rules, but, it had a very unfortunate presentation and reception. 3e has thrived through Pathfinder is something that can't really be disputed can it? About the only point I might disagree with is the "With 4E, Wizards strictly limited what sort of characters you could create" line. With, what, over thirty classes and I have no idea how many playable races, I don't think you can claim any sort of "strict" limits on what can be played. At least, not now. At release? Sure, I'll buy that. But, now? Naw, if you can envision it, you can build it in 4e. Funnily enough, Basic D&D is FAR more restrictive than 3e or 4e and is getting very big thumbs up from nearly everyone. So, I don't think restrictive class structures, on its own, are what cause such strong reactions from players. [/QUOTE]
