Does anyone else feel like 4ed isn't really a new edition?

[QUOTE="Maggan, post: 3766338, member: 6616"] Ok, the only knowledge I have of 4e is what has been gleaned from EN World. And dreams projected from the fevered minds of WotC employees working day night in the mines. And funnily enough my neighbour's cat, who seems to have the scoop on 4e all wrapped up in a little ball of yarn. That said, I think that 4e will feel like a new edition if you compare 3.xe and 4e Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide and Monster Manual. I think the line will be blurred if you compare 4e PH, DMG and MM and compare it to the entire output of 3.xe. For example, stuff from Bo9S will feel familiar enough that people who play with that option will feel the differences to be less accentuated, encounter formats might feel familiar to anyone who's run the Expedition to ... adventures and so on. So depending on what of the options of 3e you picked up, 4e will be/feel to be either a smooth transition, or a big change. How's that for a non-committal answer! :D /M [/QUOTE]
