[QUOTE="kenmarable, post: 4635723, member: 40359"] No, I believe I said "I just can't stomach a lot of the [b]attitude[/b] used to [b]explain[/b] design decisions." There's a difference. Obviously the new cosmology works for people, and I'm fine with that. I have tried very hard not to say the new cosmology sucks, or that the [b]decision[/b] to change the cosmology is stupid, or that the Great Wheel is the One True Cosmology because I don't believe any of those. Does the new cosmology work [b]for me[/b]? No, not in my current campaign. I really like the Great Wheel. Was I annoyed by the "everything before 4e sucked" undercurrent to a lot of the marketing? Heck yeah, and I'm glad they've backed off of that. Am I sad that decades of great D&D lore and material are being left behind with 4e? Sure. That doesn't mean WotC is wrong or stupid for doing so. I was also sad there wasn't a 6th season of Babylon 5 (another decade old cult favorite that is teh awesome), but anyone familiar with the show would know that a 6th season just wouldn't have worked as well. Now, I may disagree with how necessary some of the changes are in 4e, but I can certain stomach them and/or ignore them easily in my campaigns. My rant was just against the attitude defending the changes, not the changes themselves. The worst reaction I had to the changes themselves was scratching my head and letting out a "Bwuh???"
