Message: <blockquote data-quote="CasvalRemDeikun" data-source="post: 5081977" data-attributes="member: 83969">Before 2010, I must say that I was a pretty hardcore 4e supporter.  I really liked all of the business decisions for the most part.  I collected a good portion of the books (really only one book out right now that I want but don't have, and that is Primal Power).  I was really pumped for this edition, even though I have never had a chance to play it yet (ran ONE game, and it was ONE session long). BUT, 2010 appears to be a cesspool of releases.  Outside of Martial Power 2, the PHB Races books, and the Dungeon Tile Master Sets, the rest is just utter crap.  Here is a breakdown:PHB3: Psionics-they have been crap in EVERY edition of the game they have appeared in and that doesn't seem to be changing, Hybrid Rules-Worthless.  The only saving grace is the Minotaur race, which I can get from the Character Builder and Compendium.MM: Yawn.  This book hasn't drawn me in at all.Dark Sun: Overpriced garbage setting(same price, half the content=BS) that is basically anti-D&D.  Glorifies psionics, my least favorite aspect of D&D.  Utter waste of time and money.Gamma World: Neat concept, but it combines D&D and CCG and that is bad.  It just doesn't seem to be for me (a shiny spot on the turd sandwich WotC is trying to feed us).Board Games: I am neutral on these, I will have to see them.Essentials Line: Yawn.  It is a good idea in the long run, but it dominates the second half of the year and that irritates me.  I might take a look at them though. So overall, out of ~35 books and tiles coming out this year, I will be getting like seven items.  That is less than any year for 4th Edition by a large margin.  I guess I will have to wait for the 2011 setting to be announced(hopefully something more traditional fantasy like Dragonlance or Greyhawk), otherwise I will probably all but give up on 4e.</blockquote>
