Ouch! I've learnt to live with D&D 4E. In many ways it's a much better and more streamlined system, but in the process it lost much of the charm and those wonderful little complications and inconsistencies that made earlier editions interesting. At least it still feels mostly like D&D.
I suspect that they'll have done something similar to WFRP 3E. I don't see how more dice and shiny cards will make WFRP more interesting (although ask Lucy her opinion, she somehow manages to put good spin on anything new). More options, better fleshed worlds, fixes for game breaking rules and a feeling that you are forever at the mercy of the whims of a cruel fate is all I'd ask for in a new edition.
In other news, Pathfinder is ready, and it looks like it might be a massive disappointment.
-- P.S. it's a good thing Stephen Hawking is an American, and has lived all his life in America, otherwise he'd certainly be dead thanks to the evil British NHS, and its awful habit of treating sick people even if they can't afford to pay.
