Boy, I'm glad that I served in the USMC and served my country so folks could trash it through "Freedom of Speech". :)

On another note about buying American.... I just bought my "American" car. A 2008 Dodge Charger. ....."German trasnmission, Mexican parts, assembled in Canada." Glad I bought American....

Well, I bought the core books for 4E and the first adventure. I convinced my group to buy them. We sold a lot of our books too... And then we read 4e. Quite simply it does not feel like D&D, and it seems like rules are more important then ever.

I feel your pain. I did the same. I re-read the PHB last night and I thought I was reading an RPG manual for World of Warcraft.

For those of you who like the new edition I'm glad. But for me, (an avid DM since 1978) this new edition does not feel like D&D. I'll continue to run my homegrown 3.5 campaign and supplement it with Pathfinder products (which by the way I think are awesome - Way to go Paizo!)

Just my humble opinion.

I've been DMing Dungeons and Dragons since 1978 and have been a faithful buyer and player to all editions and revisions.
I've held my opinion until I had a chance to buy the core rule set and I have to say - I'm disappointed. I won't go into detail or great lengths as to why I don't like it. Suffice it to say that I will continue to play 3.5 using my home grown campaign and supplement it with Paizo pathfinder products.

Same here (order # 943682). I received the latest Pathfinder adventure but was missing my gazetteer. I sent Paizo an email and left a voicemail with customer service (as they were busy feeding the kobolds)

My 2 cents....

I like the idea of "smite" or "holy" points. Combine that with their turning ability so they can decide where to spend the points on a given day.
Giving a paladin the option of channeling power into a shield or weapon is a great idea.
What happened to detect evil? Or perhaps Pallies get the option of choosing detect evil or detect lie at 1st level.
Spellcasting should be charisma based
Alignment: I like the idea o paladins of any "good" alignment. Each one (LG, NG, CG) would have slightly different powers/abilites and class skills
Hit Die = d10 (hope the d8 is a typo)

Is this in 2008 or 2009? It says Pre-order July 2008.....
