That hasn't been guaranteed or anything, but it seems like an inference that could be made.Another thing that has me excited is that somehow our gaming group will be able to take the best of 4e, and AD&D and somehow combine that in this newest version.  They haven't said exactly how, but I'm eager to see how that would work.I say that I'm excited knowing the danger of buying into the hype without being able to look at the application of the rules and all of that.  I know that Wizards often make grand promises and sometimes has trouble delivering on them.  Despite that, I'm pretty excited to get a look at what they've come up with.It may turn out horrible, and be a huge waste of time and money, but at this point I'm excited about it.  It's like my heart is saying yes, but my head is saying no.I'll wait and see.  But at least for the moment, I'm excited about it.</blockquote>
