[QUOTE="William Ronald, post: 1000677, member: 426"] I will try to give 3.5 a chance. Monte's review has several good points, but I wish he would have elaborated a bit more on the positive changes. I am uncertain about the facing issue, but found that in 3.0 I used miniatures far more often than in the past. The financial reasons for the revision were somewhat disheartening, as it will likely give fodder to those who are cynical about WotC. I agree WotC has to make a profit or at least break even. However, Monte Cook's statement that finances played such a large role in the revision will tend to make some of my fellow players a bit skeptical about future releases. (One person I know has already "predicted" a 4th edition in two to three years. I argued that this would be illogical, as it would probably alienate a lot of players.) So, I wish Monte Cook had elaborated a bit more on the positive changes in D&D 3.5. From reading him on line, and meeting him at Gen Con, he seems like a reasonable person. Perhaps we should give him the benefit of the doubt when assigning motives to his statements in the review. Also, I think it might be wise to tone down the rhetoric a bit. [/QUOTE]
