First impression: different but the same. I didn’t see anything that was really all that ground breaking with it. I guess some of the things some folks may label as ground breaking just didn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. It was different. It was fun.

1st level combat always flies. I am very interested how the higher level maneuvers work in speeding up combat.

Just a note, my problems are not with the system changes per say. I like the changes well enough, though they pretty much just shift the dice rolls from the defender to the aggressor more and I have a lot more to track now when running my character.

Not that it is bad, I mean tracking things is fun right?!

My problem right now is the flavor of the game has changed. Character classes specifically. I do not want my wizard to play like my fighter or rouge. I understand the reasons behind the changes, Boffo has been very good at explaining his perspective. I simply don’t like them.

Looking forward to the next session, and I promise to be nicer. I want to like it, but as Bob said up above, some of the flavor and powers with classes just seems silly.
