I think you mean ... with too much brain

Or perhaps you have more than one brain in which case you might have wanted to say ... too many brains

Both sides of my brain long ago they were going to have a trial seperation.

Just to throw this out there. The skill or lack thereof of the DM can make a huge impact of your first impression of a game system. If the story had been engaging and fun and you enjoyed the session, perhaps your feelings about the system would have been different?

It certainly can. I came away from the game day having had a sample of a lot of the rules and the character types.

I think the people not knowing much about the rules is because they haven't seen much OF the rules. I'll be running a table at my local game store on the 7th when the books are out. So far I've got the expanded quickstart rules that come with Keep on the Shadowfell.

The other thing I felt the build of the modules made them really tough. I wouldn't tone them down though, I think they're designed to make sure the players get to use all the abilities the new characters have and (unfortunately) get first-hand experience in that new death mechanic.
