| Personally, I like splatbooks. They add more depths to the game. If you don't like them, leave them.
Also, 3.5 was a huge leap forward from 3.0, since there were lots of awkward rules. Example: I find 3.5 DR more intresting.
On 4th Ed: I don't like the idea of the current books being not compatible. Also, the online part... With subscription, this stinks. Lots of fancy wording for saying "we want you to pay even more." I think D&D should be playable without any tech-aids. That's the charm of the thing! This sounds like they're even going to force the normal game in to some RPGA-like monstrosity.
On a rulesbasis: I like the idea of 30 levels and racial abilities spread out through the levels. It should add a difference at higher levels between the races. Also, the fact that different weapons influence the Fighter's style, seems like a cool thing. |
