[QUOTE="Azgulor, post: 2250105, member: 14291"] Thank you for the two perfect examples - it's highlighted the incorrect assumption that I made. In reading the ads and design diaries, I was interpreting Mearls' comments for what I would want the game to be. Specifically, that Iron Lore classes COULD play on par with their D&D counterparts when I should have been reading that Iron Lore classes WILL play on par. So Xena & Samurai Jack definitely fit the bill. Unfortunately 90% of fantasy film and fiction MAY not. Which is fine. Given D&D's popularity, I'd have to admit that it's the largest target audience. It's just not the kind of game I want to run or play in. However, given the limited info thus far, I can't rule out a purchase. It's just changed from "Salivating must-have! when is August going to get here?" to "Research carefully and examine closely before buying." Ah, well. Azgulor (Fortunately Game of Thrones and Thieves' World are coming out soon, so my need for "gritty" may be satisfied anyway.) [/QUOTE]
