A Veteran GM's First Impressions of D&D 4th Edition

Posted by timothy on from the oooh-glossy dept.

Martin Ralya writes "I spent several hours with the three core D&D 4th Edition books on launch day, and wrote a detailed look at all of them based on my first impressions. Two big takeaways: Yes, the World of Warcraft comparisons are fair (and a good thing), and the way character powers work now will make the game more fun for everyone."

  1. So my group is moving to 4th ed... by afabbro · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    ...and I play a monk. No monks in 4th ed. Time for a new character.

    I know, I'll play a barbarian...ooops, no barbarians in 4th ed.

    Well, if I can't be a monk and I can't be a barbarian...how about the good ol' half-orc fighter. Nope. No half-orcs, either.

    I guess I could play a fey Eladrin Warlord. Except that I'm straight.
