[QUOTE="D'karr, post: 6199844, member: 336"] I've been doing the playtest for a very long time. A friend got me a copy of Dragonspear Castle, since I could not make it to GenCon this year. There has been nothing in the playtest, or that print copy that has stood out so much that it would make me say, "damn, I have to get this." The only things about the print copy that "made my day" were the funny side comments (inside jokes) like "this picture is upside down, please fix" or "do we really have to explain dice to "these people"?" To compound my indifference the "first" adventure for the system, Murder in Baldur's Gate, has really not impressed me at all. Our playtest sessions have not really given me a feeling that I "love" this game. Watching the Acquisitions Incorporated live games has not been as "interesting" or "entertaining" as the previous ones. Even reading about other people's play experiences has not been that interesting. So based on what I have seen up to now I would not spend money on it. That does not mean that a year from now when the actual game is out I might not buy it. But based on my current feelings about what I've seen, I have found nothing in the game that is not offered in games I'm already playing right now. That's not a put down on WotC, one of my favorite games is Shadowrun, and I decided not to buy the newest version either - for pretty much the same reasons. [/QUOTE]
