D&D 4E WoTC is increasing the amount of 4e info, but..

[lexoanvil]

i find the info thus far show has been fine, if they tell us everything reading the book for the first time will kinda be a letdown. im looking foward to opening the book and learning new rules while in my big chair sipping my hot coco.

Then why is he carrying it?

Because people will buy it? Just because a store owner has an opinion about a product and is willing to share that opinion with his customers doesn't necessarily mean he's not going to stock the product. If it's a dreadful product, sure. But if it's just a popular product he thinks is poorly done, I'd expect him to stock it. I don't see that as unreasonable.

But you can do that regardless of how much info is released. You control exactly what amount of pre-release information you access. If you want to be surprised by a lot of stuff when you first read the books, just choose not to read the pre-release information.

If he's going to try and unsell his cusotmers on it... yeah, I'd see it as unreasonable.

Either don't stock it or kick the opinions to a minimum.

I don't understand that, but it's your opinion, so ok.

Hi folks,

Just a quick word about the excerpts we’ve been posting. One of our goals has been to help fill in the gaps, so to speak, regarding the 4th Edition rule set. I don’t want to release the complete schedule ahead of time, but we will have previews for the paragon tier (04/23), multiclassing (04/30), and the epic tier (05/12).

Bart,

Thanks for the tip, and welcome to the boards!

Because I want to play it now, of course. I've been wanting to give it a try since the moment that stupid phrase "4dventure" appeared on wizards.com.
