As I said elsewhere, Peterson seems very easily startled. Switch to decaf, man!

So apart from the bard and druid being AWOL for now, there is absolutely nothing wrong with 4e.
Just as there was absolutely nothing wrong with 3.0 and later 3.5.
Sorry, I'm not buying it (literally and figuratively). There is no way that marking (for example) can be considered an improvement over the previous edition. Simpler monster creation and seriously beefing up lvl 1 characters on the other hand are a big step forward (or backward in the case of the monsters - but still in the right direction).
4 e is going to have some really good new stuff, some average stuff and some really bad stuff, and it's going to take several months before the dust settles and gamers will find out what is what.
And any review worth its salt (rather than an advertisement in disguise) will keep that in mind.

Yup, they turned up broken the other way.Mustrum_Ridcully said:I wouldn't have been able to predict the problems of 3E after I got the book and read it the first time. Okay, I probably knew for certain that the Monk (3.0) and Mystic Theurge are horribly broken, but, well, we all know how this "certainity" turned out.
