Message: <blockquote data-quote="Guest&nbsp; 85555" data-source="post: 6094422">One hp an hour is pretty cinematic. I dont know, Next is looking pretty modern to me. It isnt 4E by any strecth and they are clearly trying to restore some things that were lost, but it is definitely taking a much more modern approach than 3E, 2E or 1E. What it isn't doing is dismissing people who appreciate the traditional asthetic. But my guess is this is going to have plenty of non-Tolkein options in the advanced book. There is no reason you cant have both (in fact I am counting on being able to run a very traditional game using the core but doing somethign wild like wuxia or historical cinematic using the other books). To me, the best case scenario is the edition offers a broad range of styles. They may need to do it over different books, but I am fine with that. Rght now, I am cautious because I dont know what the release structure is going to be. They have made a lot of decisions I disagree with (one hour healing, fighter dice, etc) but I also get they are trying to satisfy a lot of different people. The unmodified core book isnt neccesarily what many of us will be using.</blockquote>
