I've had the honor of playing and running some of the preview demos, and they were fantastic. Playing 4th edition feels like playing D&D the way it ought to be. I’m very excited about it.

It is the powers and abilities that seem to bother me at this point. Reading through the preview material just isn't exciting, the flavor is very different and I am not sure I like it. I have always leaned towards few powers/magic items but the ones you have are good, useful and cool. Powers like "Every time I attack you get +2 to hit for a round" just seems like an attempt to make the 6 year old feel he is doing something "Cooler" than just swinging a sword. I will try it, the group here is pretty split on moving to 4E or sticking with 3.5/Pathfinder but I am willing to give it a shot.
