Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition Announced

bigstrat2003 writes "For the past day, Wizards of the Coast has had a countdown to "4dventure" on their web site. The countdown ran out at 6:30 eastern time today (and the web site promptly crashed), but stories are already appearing on the rest of the web. Wizards also has had their 4th edition forums up for a couple of days."

I thought it was fine

As I understand it, there is already enough brokenness in 3.5, why would we want to release a 4th version, where there is a very large chance they will release a literal ton of books and new abilities that will further contribute to the work a DM has to do to make sure the players are relatively balanced. Its tough enough having to spend several minutes going through each thing they want and making sure that its not some net plan to become the next pun pun.
