 Very Nice October 2, 2008

Very nice books and case with excellent artwork and easy reading. For the old players I don't know if this edition will be a huge upgrade as it seems like it limits players who like to be very creative in their characters. Although the simplicity of the system may make up for that.

I will not send 1 dime on 4th ed. It is not a ROLL playing system, but a computer transition. Hasbro can take it and take a flying leap (the godless fatherless get(bastards)). Do not be seduced by the darkside.

Good bookset.
Combination of the well-known 2nd edition and 3rd edition.
The good old XP system is back. The d20 roll is simplified and used as core throughout the encounters.
 SOME THINGS ARE BETTER LEFT UNCHANGED! September 19, 2008

Dungeons and Dragons 4.0 should, in theory, introduce new concepts and ideas that augment already existing rules and make them better.
Regretfully, though, it starts gutting established Dungeons and Dragons rules and procedures that have been in existence for decades.
Certain alignments are done away with, certain character classes are let out to pasture, the whole thing comes across as change for the simple sake of change. The 3.5 version was a lot better.
Some things are better left unchanged!!!

Hi, I'm 37, been roleplaying for years.
Introduced to RPG with Runequest (Chaosium) long time ago, later moved on to Call of Cthulhu and AD&D, it was 1989. In 1991 high school moved me out of the RPG tables. In late 90s I heard news about the new edition of D&D, the famous 3.0 (3.5 later) and months later I started buying the core books (DM guide and Players guide) but...this is not the AD&D I was used to play with!!! Dozens of confusing rules, dozens of updates and a extreme slow playing because it was too rule dependent...I spent more time consulting tables than playing...weeks later I quit and sold my core books on Ebay and went back to AD&D (and Runequest sometimes). Since today, I've just received the D&D 4th edition gift set...all I can say is WOW!!!
What a big improvement this edition is.
What a BEAUTIFUL job Wizards has done! to me this is the best D&D edition ever.
Love the design, love the art, everything looks clear and easy to understand and you almost can play it right out of the box, I'm very excited about the new rules (probably because I've never really liked D&D 3.5) because this edition looks more like the classic AD&D I was used to play with.
I'm starting tonight with H1-Keep on the Shadowfell...I'll send a report soon.
