I have watched 3rd edition from the first rumors on Eric's board to now. I have watched 4e too. When 3.0 released, I went to Gen Con and met all of the designers and spoke with them, attended the seminars, etc. I have a signed PHB 3.0 e to prove it, I met everybody. I have been in gaming retail for 13 years now. I have seen it all with D&D in my neck of the woods, good and bad. 4e, from my perspective, is going to work. It is going to be new and scary at first. For some it will be exciting. Some will be stubborn and say forget it. But it will be better. It will be more flexible, use better common sense, allow for more flexbile adventurers, dming styles and character creation. I think 4e is going to prove 90% of the nay-sayers here wrong. Now, the digital initative is going crappy and I miss the dungeon and dragon, but WOTC was never great at that sort of stuff. D&D they been doing a very good job on though over the years. The irony I find, is everyone is clinging to a system that we know has issues and they refuse to trust the deisgners who have worked on it and fixed those issues with 4e. These are the same WOTC designers that have wowed you over the years, and the new guys are the ones you wanted working on the damn 4e project to begin with. If anyone doubts me, go buy the Rules Compendium and read all of the designer commentary. It will open your eyes to what is coming. If I am right about this, then we will never have to subtract a level from a character again after that damn energy drain happens. That would be a blessing, as its a pain in the ass.When the Races and Classes book comes out, I am sure there will be enlightening commentary in there too. I plan on reading it just for that, because I want to get in the designers head and see it from their perspective. I want to understand why power attack needs work, or why the gnome hurts the PHB.</blockquote>
