[QUOTE="Man in the Funny Hat, post: 6070606, member: 32740"] The cynic in me read this: and immediately said, "of course the ENDURING elements of the game, the ones that they DECIDE to call The Core, are simply the ones they haven't screwed up in some previous revision of the game." I'm not saying he necessarily meant that. More that like others I laud the goals but question the chances for success in acheiving them having seen dubious evidence thus far, and am presently of the mind that we may just have to wait until it arrives to have a properly informed opinion. I believe there is also such a thing as edition fatigue. Regardless of whether they want to do great honor to previous editions and what [I]they [/I]did well, the fact is that it will NOT [U]BE [/U]any previous edition - it will be a new edition and will involve learning a new edition as such. It will still need to convince 6 million existing players that it's worth the effort to GIVE UP whatever edition they are currently playing. This tells me simply that the box will include a campaign [I]setting [/I]and enough adventures to keep newbie players busy playing [I]a campaign[/I] from 1st level to X-level. After that they go back and play it again, make more stuff up themselves, or start buying additional product. [/QUOTE]
