I got ticked off at another section for saying thire game was "the red head step child" of WotC...so i pulled out my teacher hat and put in my new sig
EDIT: I'll put back my old sig with your quote about trusting me when we get sblocks back..about the vid,did you watch it cuz he mentioned about bringing modern in line iwth 4e....>_>
The d20Modern stuff was at the 7min mark of the vid, for those looking for it.
Exactly what language did he use when he was saying what was up with Modern-
have modern " .. talk more to 4th edition" ???
Is that what he said?
Cuase I "talk" to 4e,
I talk SMACK to 4e, and if that is what he was tryinbg to say.... oh heck yeah we gonna do this thing
Actually,
I'm kinda glad woc is using their testbed game to work out the problems of 4e
before using it where its important- Modern. 
It must be a Washington thing to release Betas as product,
remember microsofts "Win95 is not Chicago, we abandoned Cghicago and created W95 in just a few months from scratch". Followed a few month later with them having to fix so much of it that they had to rerelease it rather than patch the existing.
And on a final note (or a Nail in the Coffin note)
What did CP say when asked if Modern would get some love'n by 2012?
