I'm glad to see this topic revisited. I was rather surprised to see people jumping on the paranoia bandwagon on the last post. I never really understood all the suspicion of WotC trying to rip people off, or whatever the current fear is, but to me it just seems like they're trying to release a new, interesting, and better game. If you're hesitant to switch, that's fine, but I'd encourage you to reserve final judgement until the product is in your hands.

mshea speaks the truth; check out Wizards' most recent News update for the whole scoop. Cory, you definitely need to update this post.

This seems more like a stress-ball for the rich and ridiculous. Why they say it's a chair is beyond me; I've seen chairs, and this is anything but.
