Here! Here!
Well done!
EDIT: SPELL CHECK
Yes, that was one of the first things I saw when I cracked it open. I meant to mention it but forgot in all the excitement followed by the boards being down so much.
Awesome dedication, Paizo. Have I said lately how much you guys rock? ;-)
Im glad they put that in the book. It is the most awesome line in the book!
Brought a tear to my eye. That is real class.
This game is dedicated to Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson.
What he said!

I'm very glad that they acknowledge the hobby's history and are sensitive to the work of these past giants.
As I read through the new rulebook, I am increasingly overjoyed that they have not simply discarded the Sword & Sorcery roots of the game in favour of anime-inspired 'dungeonpunk' or something similar, but have chosen to realign the game along more traditional lines. The guys at Paizo seem to be aware of the literature that inspired D&D and are working to recapture that feel. Even people who don't like 3E should read the core rulebook to get an idea of how the game might be updated without losing sight of its roots. Excellent work - and a fitting tribute to the pioneering spirit of Gygax and Arneson.
