Further, those "black pages" people keep referencing contain a year's worth of hints - scarcely little by this time in 1999. I'd say we know MORE now at this time than we did back then. To wit:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Star Wars Saga Edition and book of nine swords we know give us the general gist how some of the core mechanics (spell system, saves, etc.) will work. No exactly, but then, we didn't have exactly how the sorcerer or cleric turning undead worked at this time in 1999, either.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> We know the mechanic of having immediate actions happen when certain monsters reach half hit points, or three-quarters hit points, etc. At this time we had no idea how the skill system worked in 3E.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The "10 ways you can play 3E" back then gave us the general gist of cleric spell swapping, of increasing AC, of any class/race combos, etc. The Saga system and Tome of Battle we already have available gives us tons of mechanics to speculate and try with.</li> </ul>As for previews being charged for, I'm on a "wait and see" attitude. The customer always has the option of not buying, and I guarantee NO ONE with an ENWorld, WotC forums, or RPG.net  account will need to buy one to get the high points of what's in those previews. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
