[QUOTE="Jared Rascher, post: 3749277, member: 28825"] Not to be a wet blanket, but by the time they "announce" this at GenCon UK, a lot of people already know about it. Enough so that people that are interested most likely signed up to go to the show to see if they could learn more. In other words, this would skew any kind of analysis of weather 4th edition is well received since its much easier, at this announcement, to find people already convinced that 4th edition is something they want to look in at. I also saw in several of the designer's blogs that they felt the reaction to the announcement in Indy wasn't overwhelming support, but kind of stunned silence with a few points of cheering over specific items that were announced. Even they didn't try to spin this as being generally well received, just not automatically reviled. There is a difference between an audience being outright rude (i.e. booing, catcalls) and an audience being quietly stunned or indifferent to the announcement. [/QUOTE]
