I’m glad I did. The owner was there having a chat with someone about 4E. I listened in for a while, and joined in. For the record, I’m “waiting to see”, but some of the changes I’ve heard about so far I’ve not been happy with. Sadly, I’ve not heard enough facts about the “good stuff” yet (IMO)- and there must be some- but note I’m not bashing anyone!
One funny thing I heard in this conversation. It turns out that one shop regular (not me!) is against 4E and wants to stick with 3.x because the new edition will take away all the munchkiney options. When I said to the owner “Is that because there’ll be no more frenzied berserkers?”, the owner replied with a straight face: “Aah no, he thinks that frenzied berserkers are too weak.” Like, ummm, OMG…
To the important part of this post: The owner said that anyone who purchases the 4E Player’s Handbook and doesn’t like it after reading it can return the book for a refund (as long as it’s still in good condition!). I think that’s a great idea, and I’ll definitely buy the book from him. (When the book's finally out, I'll ask him if he still intends to operate that policy!)
