[QUOTE="Steelwill, post: 5243775, member: 90458"] [I]Starting in September and rolling out until the end of the year, the [B]Dungeons & Dragons[/B] Essentials products consist of [U]10 key products that form the basis of the roleplaying game system going forward[/U]. These 10 key products are designed to be a great place to start your [B]Dungeons & Dragons[/B] game experience, as well as being [U]a set of core reference tools for everyone playing the game[/U]." [/I] Just the underlined parts above tell me its not a leap in logic, its reading the words off the page. I don't see it being much clearer than that. Time will tell soon enough though. I don't care if it is a reboot, I am just sad like the OP that we are here already. I am sad 4E legacy? Core? Pre-update revisions? Unmodified maybe? is looking like its going the way of the dodo bird. And its not really meaningful to say,"Well its still compatible and not being phased out" when in fact it is by way of rules updates and revisions. That's like saying 3.5 is still playable...sure, but its not the current ruleset receiving support from WOTC anymore. Essentials will be, 4E core won't,"going forward". As I said before, here is hoping WOTC gets it right this time with Essentials. [/QUOTE]
