[QUOTE="BlackMoria, post: 3825979, member: 424"] Perhaps there wouldn't be so much angst if the designers were Rich Baker, Eric Boyd, Steven Schend and Sean K Reynolds among others. The 4e Design Team is Rob Heinsoo, Bruce Cordell, Chris Simms and Logan Bonner. Ed Greenwood has be contracted for 50,000 words but doesn't have vote in the decision making. Rich Baker is not on the project (but his speaking up put the bulleye on him for some of the vitrol) Rob Heinsoo is a old hand at the FR. Bruce Cordell is a very talented designer but is a relatively newcomer to doing FR products. Whether he 'gets' the Realms or not, I don't know. Chris and Logan are new guys. By his own admission, Logan says he doesn't know much about the FR but his role is the mechanics guy, so that is probably fine. So an analogy - if this was the starting lineup for baseball team, a number of fans have doubts that that this roster will get the team to the World Series. Maybe they can. Maybe they can't. I think if the roster had Rich Baker, Steven Schend and Sean K Reynolds on it, there may not be the amount of angst out there about the changes. Of course, this is an impossibility since Steven and Sean have long left WOTC but I wonder why Rich wasn't put in the bullpen. [/QUOTE]
