Granted, I will not be playing in this game either. (Adjusting to college + pledging with a fraternity = minimal extra time.)
Although, I would like to read a game that is simpler. I didn't read any of the earlier ones, not any until VII actually. I'd be interested to see if some of the lesser special roles come more into play. In the games I've read, the Hunter and Ranger have had minimal impact. Still, more special roles means that more people have more fun... theoretically.
