My feeling right is best summed up by saying I'm keeping my fingers crossed.That said, does anyone else feel that WOTC hasn't handled this change as well as the original 3E roll-out? I'm referring to the marketing of the system - for an entire year prior to 3E we saw snippets of information, mostly out of context, but enough to make (most of) us interested. I remember being excited when 3E came out, even while wondering if they could possibly have gotten it right. Now, mostly all I hear is griping about specific changes - the "wow" factor seems to be missing.Compare this to Arcana Unearthed - over the past few months there has been a consistent increase in the buzz over this product. More to the point, a lot of the comments have been of the type, "Wow, I may not play AU, but I'm definitely stealing that idea for my 3E game..."  How many snippets from WOTC have inspired such a reaction?Maybe I'm being unfair about this: it's much easier to hype a new system than a revision. But then again, if they're going to all this trouble to change the game I play (and apparently change it a lot), I would hope I'd get more than a little "wow" out of it. Just my two cents'.</blockquote>
