[QUOTE="rounser, post: 3967592, member: 1106"] Mourn, can you at least be a bit discriminating? I know you have a vested interest in seeing 4E succeed because your job depends on it, but it's getting old. I'm not [i]all[/i] anti-4E, I think a lot of what I've heard is excellent changes that I can fully get behind and look forward to, but you're not putting out any such mixed signal. I know that it's hard to get someone to believe something that their salary depends on them not believing, but please tell me just one thing you don't like about 4E instead of waving the flag and splitting hairs like you've done there. I mean, what [i]does[/i] follow mythology 100%? Not much. Not even other mythology, but there are close analogues in celtic legend for D&D elves (guys on boats from memory). And Dungeons & Dragons implies there are dragons in the game somewhere, no more than that. If PCs, why weak sauce dragonborn, why not actual, honest-to-goodness PC dragons? OH, BECAUSE WOTC DIDN'T DECIDE TO PUT THEM IN THERE. As arbitrary as that. As for TSR and D&D's IP, FR is being resurrected for a reason, and Eberron is no FR. And they were apparently trying to replace or equal FR's role as CRPG and novel golden goose with Eberron, remember? [/QUOTE]
