Re: OT-D&D 4th edition game group?
From what I have seen, it looks like they have down-graded the game rules to the lowest-common-denominator level of MMORPGs. Not really interested in it.  |

Re: OT-D&D 4th edition game group?
I read they have changed the rules for raising the dead. Maybe they gave some consideration to whether animating the dead is evil or not  |

Re: OT-D&D 4th edition game group?
Not immediately. I'm planning to wait for other people to be beta testers before I look at it too much.
I will, however, be going to gaming stores on June 7th to find out how much the market has crashed on used 3.5 books....

Re: OT-D&D 4th edition game group?
I don't know if 4th edition will be better, but I do know that after looking over the released 4th edition rules, my brain isn't that interested in 3rd edition anymore.

D&D died a long time ago for me.
Play Castles and Crusades instead. You'll thank me.

Re: OT-D&D 4th edition game group?
The problem is that they're obsessing over rules and endless books of (typically over-powered) fluff, rather than a simple, quick-flowing rulesset that was more worried about players playing characters that were running around having grand adventures. I'm not going to be even remotely optimistic about fourth edition.
Chances are, I'll wait until I see what people over at the SA forums think, skim the book in the store, and...well, then I'll ultimately cannibalize the rules I like for my own version of the d20 system that I keep mangling to suit my own campaign world.

Re: OT-D&D 4th edition game group?
I must be old... we still play by the 2.5 rules... my group was so used with 2.5 that we voted to continue with it instead of upgrading to 3.0...

Re: OT-D&D 4th edition game group?
My personal favorite is Shadowrun, but I'll probably end up play at least some 4th edition D&D.
