Re: Gary Gygax R.I.P.
Well, from my limited experience with 4ed, it's not bad if you're not expecting continuity for 3,5ed. It's hard to make completely useless character in 4ed, while in 3½ any optimized class around lvl 10 can probably just waltz into a large city and proclaim him/her as it's ruler. 3½ has some serious issues with how stuff works, and 4ed just simplifies lots of those rules, like the whole magic spells -thing. I liked 3½ for it's complexity, and I dislike 4ed for its simplicity. I've still had fun playing 4ed games though, but that's more to do with DM+players than the system.
