[QUOTE="Haffrung Helleyes, post: 4025360, member: 1068"] Since I started the 'Former 4E Doubter now has High Hopes' thread, I thought I'd balance things out a bit. I am really looking forward to playing 4E. But my thoughts are in spite of, not due to , WoTC marketing efforts and marketing-related decisions. Everything about the 4E launch has been ham-fisted. The lousy D&D promotion videos The over-use of the word 'cool'. The killing of Dungeon and Dragon prior to having an acceptable replacement. And now we have playtesters and freelancers given permission to speak of 4E, but only in a positive way. The negative PR from this move , I think, must far outweigh any benefit to WoTC. In the long run, I suppose none of this will matter, because eventually the game will sink or swim based on the strength of the rules and their ongoing support from WoTC. But really, what's going on here? Ken [/QUOTE]
