Dungeons and Dragons Fourth Edition will be releasing the 3 core books in June. There is a lot of mixed feelings about this. I'll probably get them but from what I've read so far, there are things I like and things I don't like, but overall, it sounds ok. (It's not like they're going to force us to ditch our old books.)

What's your opinion?
You should add this to the poll:
"I've never played D&D"
I've never played Dungeons & Dragons.
I've watched people play it and it was never my cup of tea. Instead, I prefer Magic the Gathering where the cards decide the outcome.
Heh, updated. Magic The Gathering is no less of a geekery -heh I've done both! Although I dropped the card games because they cost too darn much (I know guys who've dropped thousands into it). True you could spend a lot on D&D but in Magic (or any other card game) you have to invest more $$ to have a better deck -not my thing really.
Sure D&D has that reputation you speak of but you'd be surprised. I met a few very nice women at D&D meetups :) And the competition for their attention wasn't all that fierce :) hehe
I've never played this geekery, but I think if one of my friends had been playing it in my earlier years I would be completley obsessed with it.
Will buy 4th ed out of curiosity.
Having a campaign to run is a dream I have, but a hard-to-attain one.
