0:00 - 11:00: Tim's racism drives Schmitty off, is 4th Edition still D&D?, thoughts on the new power system - does it focus the game on "roll" playing?, is 4th too complex for newbies?

11:00 - 20:00: Some praise for the new DMG, more role vs. roll playing discussion

20:00 - 29:00: Love for the new D&D monsters, turn flow and death and dying in 4E, using power cards

29:00 - 35:30: More monster talk - bemoaning the lack of flavor in the MM, stupid Gricks, Bulettes in the restroom

35:30 - 49:00: 4E miniatures, individual highs and lows of 4E, 4E "blockiness" too intimidating?

49:00 - 54:45: Some parting comments: why the lack of gnomes, etc.
