Everytime an edition has come to a close and a new edition is on the horizon a few folks act out in their fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD).FUD does funny things to people, they start looking for someone to blame and old-schoolers seem to be the current target.Everything about D&D Next has pointed to older editions as a source of inspiration and those 4e folks aren't seeing where they fit into the new picture. Unfortunately, the fiddy bits that will add 3e and 4e style of play haven't been written yet. The core system appears to be a rules light system.I wouldn't worry to much about my misbehaving 4e brethren, feel compassion for them. Eventually, it will pass, they will either see the promise of a system that supports different types of play or they will join the heard of disgruntled old-edition hold outs, groaning about how it was in their day.Who knows, if Next doesn't live up to it's potential, I might join them in exile. I doubt it, but that option is there.In the mean time, I am going to go play some D&D, hang out with my friends, and have a good time.EDIT: I cannot claim the authorship of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty_and_doubt" target="_blank">FUD</a>. FUD is a term that has been in use for a long time in Marketing and Sales (its heavily associated with the computer hardware industry, but has since branched out). Thank you for the xp, but I wanted to be clear that I did not coin this term.</blockquote>
