I'm guessing 4.0 will flop big time and Hasbro will either outright give up on it or sell it to some small company that will care enough to do 5.0 right.

Status: offline 		Its far and away the biggest change to D&D ever.

The game has been redesigned to play like an MMO (WoW basically). I'm not kidding that was the design goal. Fighters are now tanks. Rangers do ranged attacks. Mages do status effects. The monsters have been similiarly redone so a group of orces will include tanks, controllers, healers etc.. The combat stuff is tied quite heavily to playing with minis on a 5 foot grid.

I've done a demo with the new rules and played a session with some playtesters and I hated it.

Status: offline 		Woohoo, two days after my birthday!!!  I'll have to check it out... I'm glad they're releasing it even in the wake of Mr. Gygax's sad departure from this world.

I'm always biased as far as edition preferences though.  I learned to play D&D at age six using my mother's 1st Edition set, which I actually still have somewhere.  I dabbled in 3rd but still ultimately prefer Shadowrun and Vampire: The Masquerade... though I did have a Twi'lek Scoundrel in the Star Wars version.  I think I'm partial to those two particular TTRPGs, though, just because they're so fun to LARP.

Status: offline 		I gave up on traditional D&D after I discovered Denver's IFGS. Like sex, once you've played outdoors, in costume, and full scale, playing around the house, rolling dice, seems... trite. The only thing that comes close to the same kind of fun that I get with LARPing is, well, BDSM pony play.

Does it come with a D20 because I have some people’s feet to torture by leaving them strategically placed around the house?

Isn't it about time someone invented a D100, I know it would be gigantic and most nerds would probably be unable to lift it but think of the potential.
