D&D 4.0

This is just a general feeling, and I haven't looked at all the wonderful online stuff that'ssupposed to be better than what we can get already on our own, but I think I'll stick by my previously asserted position: WotC are a bunch of whores, spoiled by Magic, who are trying to market D&D like a software franchise that demands new serious investment from its consumers every year or so.

3.5 made some stupid arbitrary changes, but also tried to fix up some problems in 3.0, which was fine and to be expected because 3rd edition was a big change and there hadn't been much in the way of D&D development for quite a while.

But it's not a merry-go-round. We buy it, we buy ongoing content and modules and sourcebooks and whatever. Tweaking the rules so that we buy new copies of books we already have, new copies of the same old modules and whatnot just because they need to be updated to some some uselessly edited new version just makes me think you're the enemy and that I'm happy living in 3.5 for another decade or so, thanks.
