Dungeons and Dragons

[clockworkcanary]

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.)

Here are some links for further information:

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.
