Okay, I understand that many people are angry about 4e, but giving things one-star reviews before they come out? That's taking it a bit far.

Well, they wouldn't let you give it 1/2 a star...

Well, considering that the content's been out for a bit now, the only thing I see having any possible effect is the binding, which is really just the melted wax on the cake. The icing and cake part can be judged just fine.

Still, it seems like overkill to rate something that isn't yet out, even if you know what its contents are.


A boxful of poo, nicely gift-wrapped is still a boxful of poo. If you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but only its contents, then ratings are truly valid. FTR, I don't necessarily agree that 4E is a boxful of poo. I'm just making an analogy.


Reviews should be of items you own and have fully evaluated. This is just flaming.


That's not even a review of the book. It's just a gratuitous slam.

STOP INSULTING POO! I WOULD BUY A NICELY GIFT-WRAPPED BOX OF POO! THIS, SIR, IS NO GIFT-WRAPPED BOX OF POO! ;)


And conversely, its a little hard for a product to rate five stars before its been released as well . . .


I have recently purchased & tried 4th edition, very poor, missing something allthe character classes lack individualism, there all to close to one another. you buy magic items, you dont really craft. many of the paths suck, and its all about encounters. I spent the last few years collecting the ebeeron book (excellent by the way)why coulnt HASBRO!!! the toy money makers make something compatible with 3.5
I will be a Paizo 3.5 & plus customer for life
