Re: [RPG]: Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition Player's Handbook, reviewed by Al Seeger (4

So Mr. Seeger flipped through the book and found two or three trivial details that I thinks are "dumb"... as if that couldn't be done with any RPG book ever.

All this review tells me is that the reviewer thinks he's really smart, too smart, in fact, to be bothered with any rulebook that dares employ second-person pronouns!

Unfortunately, he wasn't able to put all that intelligence towards writing a decent review.

Totaly agree. It seems more like a "why I hate 4ED" more than an actually review.

4ED is still D&D. It's just not your version of D&D
