Frothsof, did you use such old style stat blocks to avoid copyright infringement? Because otherwise I prefer the format of the Fourth Edition. Although I will concede that these are a nice compromise and adaptation of OSR and 4e.

its nothing to do with copyright infringement; this will be released for free under the gsl. i am not trying to do anything 'better' than 4e; i love 4e, and it is what got me back into d&d. my fanzine presents alternate rules and design elements in an effort to create a sort of hybrid of 4e and classic d&d. in other, words, it is completely deliberate, but is really just an alternate way to play, for fun. so i take your last sentence as a big compliment, bc that is exactly what i am trying to do.
i know im biased, but playtesting the statblock has been very smooth, and as a huge fan of classic editions, i like how the two blend. if you are curious for more about what went into the the statblock design, i did a blog series on it. all of the applicable articles are here

Dear 4e Fans,
It seems the death of our lovely edition is near and from the looks of it is growing rapidly closer. Look at our 4e forums, they are already dying gown we have posts from 6 and 7 days ago. On the first Page! It inevitable that this Is going to happen, 4e will be a but a memory to these old forums. So I am here to say, it is our duty as the fans, to not give in on 4e. This is the day and age of the OGL! There is no reason to switch editions simply because it's not officially supported any more. Look at 3.5 players and Pathfinder... Could 4e have a game like that? Sure why not? Essentially all it is names of monsters, spells, and feats, and some attacks changed. Though I already know of a couple games/clones trying to do this, they seem to move a little farther away from 4e the more they are developed than I would like. All pre-3e games have a place to call home over at Dragonsfoot, 3e has Private Sanctuary and multiple good blogs. So, shouldn't 4e? Wouldn't it be nice to have a place to discuss 4e in place were flame wars and personal attack risks are low? A place where 4e can get 3rd party support, and have fan made adventures for download? A place like this doesn't need to exist, it has to exist. SO what do you say? What are we, the fans of 4e going to do do make 4e's life permanent?
If it contains a character builder with all the released stuff of 4th I'm game.
Cause otherwise me and my players will have to switch to next cause we use the DDI character builder and writing the powers of the sheets will take up to much time and suddenly going from lots and lots of stuff to choose from to next to nothing is not going to sit well with my players
"Into the heart of battle, I shall walk
In the eye of the storm, I will stand
Onto the end of the earth, I shall hunt
In defence of others, I shall fight
For honour and glory, I will live
And for justice, I would die"
