Not for nothing, but this made me chuckle.  You say all this no no no stuff and then end it with “I've got three other editions”.    I wonder how many other people are saying the same thing… and have said it for all the previous editions as well?  There are quite a few on this thread already.  I would imagine most people who think they won’t buy 4E will eventually buy it when all the boards and conventions and bookshelves and supplements and video games will soon be about it.But I hear you dude.   I said the same thing for the last 3 editions myself.  A-frippin-men, brother.  I say slap 4E on the cover of the Rules Cyclopedia and call it a day.  Ok, ok, maybe update it a little with some unified play mechanics.Dang.  I wonder if my car maker would consider this policy too, despite the fact that my current model has served me well and I have gotten use out of it for all these years… <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />The current editions did not just spring out of thin air.  They were created on the foundations of the very successful, playable, and fun, previous editions.  And those editions contained the sort of stuff you now consider unimportant.  But who’s to say what is quintessential and what’s not?  For instance I happen to think that sort of stuff is quintessential to D&D.  Seems to me the current edition and they way its been heading has a lot of people looking to revisit older systems, or outside systems, or simpler systems, or even new systems like 4E.   Myself included.   OMG, that sounded like an edition war.  Sorry, nevermind.  Carry on… <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/nervous.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":heh:" title="Nervous Laugh    :heh:" data-shortname=":heh:" /></blockquote>
