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."

    When you use acronyms, make sure you spell out the word and then associate it. It wasn't rocket science, but I had to figure out what the heck a PHB was.
