D20 Netbook of Expansion

ARG! I just got a copy of the PHB (Relax, I'm still gonna buy it) and they got rid of DRUIDS! My all time fav class, gone

That makes me a very sad panda...not to mention the severe emphasis on miniature gaming. seems to me that you almost CAN'T play it without a miniature set. We shall see...

How the heck can you get your hands on the 4E PHB if it isn't even out yet? Unless you are talking about the Races and Classes book.(though maybe it would be better left unsaid). Anywho I highly doubt that they are going to totally do away with Druids, or any other thing that is truely ingrained in D&D. Ok, the bard is not around, but that doesn't mean they are going to entirely exclude him. They might bring him(and the Druid) in a extra supplement book(though that would make them greedy bastards

)
[begin rant]
Personally I am not ready to bash 4E just yet since so little is actually known about it, especially in compairison to our knowledge of 3.5. In addition I think people are being a little to hasty to attack 4E. Just because it is new and different is not grounds for negitive commenting. Remember the name change from Revolution to the Wii? people were very angry, but look at it know, its the front runner in the console wars. And what about the editions before 3 or 3.5? I bet there were people who really loved those editions, and didnt like the idea of 3(yes 3 was broken, but they fixed it when they realized they hadn't properly tested it and releaced 3.5) but now look at our reaction to it. Just about everyone loves 3.5 enough to attack 4E just because they are now accustomed to 3.5. Sure there are some changes(some they admittedly worry me) but we need to wait and see before judge(constructive criticisms aside

).
[end rant]

Back on topic, I agree that it might be best to just release the netbook in 3.5 format, then if you like 4E you might be willing to do an update, and if not then someone might be willing to do it for you.

No, I would not want to live in a world without dragons, as I would not want to live in a world wihtout magic, for that is a world without mystery, and that is a world without faith.
