| Fourth Edition Rants and Praises!
This is just a general thread about fourth edition now that it's official it's coming out. First off, do you like or hate the idea of fourth edition? And as it comes out and we all find more information on it, what do you like about it and what do you hate about it?
Personally, I liked third edition. 3.5 wasn't needed. It was an improvement on many parts, but it wasn't anything anybody who could DM couldn't think up on his or her own.
But oh well. 3.5 became the standard, and it gradually became worse and worse with the addition of useless splatbooks (IMO we had more splatbooks in 3.5 than we've had in any edition thus far). And 4th edition, it could be to fix 3.5 and make it look better OR it could be to screw things up even more. Honestly, as much as things are screwed up now, I don't think it's worth the risk to possibly make it worse.
However, even though I have serious doubts that 4th edition won't be anything but awful, I still hope it turns out good. I think we don't need it, but that doesn't matter considering we're getting it anyways. So all I can do is hope. |
