I find that annoying. Hopefully the 'updating' is kept to a minimum. >.<

"Oh, no. You're playing a 2008 ranger. Totally sucks. You need to upgrade to the 2010 ranger."

I'm hoping my speculation is correct and by new it will actually be new classes/races along with the ones presented in non-core books compiled so you don't have to buy those books if you don't want to. Such as Drow presented in FR also presented in PHB II so you don't have to buy that book if you don't want to, but still get the race presented in better detail than the MM will present.

Refresh... Refresh... REFRESH...

I know I have work to do. We're implementing a new warehouse managing system that I'm in charge of today. But, for some strange reason I find myself sitting here hitting refresh repeatedly.

I'm sure Mike is furiously pounding away on his iphone, but it would be nice if at the end of the day, someone who was there could give us a comprehensive write-up of everything mentioned at the seminar along with a COMPLETE and legible copy of all 4e materials released including that one sheet, character sheets, etc.

Yeah, I'd bet that updated simply means stuff like duskblades and cavaliers.

On the other hand, I wouldn't mind seeing some PHB2-style expanded options for existing classes.

I certainly hope your interpertation is correct, though I would see those as 'new' 4e classes, not 'updated'. *shrug

I keep checking the main site to see if they might surprise us and actually post the content of the sheet. Would be nice of them to do it, however if they do I figure it will probably be timed to correlate to their noon eastern time session or any time after that.

Your missing an opportunity here guys. All standard DM contracts clearly state the right of dot upgrades (generally accepted as web content and 3rd party manufacturers) are free of charge.

LEFT of dot updates are not covered and ll players may be required to pay upgrade fees.

This is cleary an attempt by Hasbro to engender the DM community and provide economic incentive to adopt.

No ebooks - online rules database instead. Thank goodness.

I don't think it has been said yet so.

Thanks Mike it is great of you to keep those of us far from the D&D XP informed.
If I ever see you at a Con or something I owe you a beer.

What are the eight? I know we have more than eight don't we?
