I'm with VioletGray in not being impressed with 4th ed. Though honestly, I'm still, when I do play, running from Unearthed Arcana. I have played 3rd ed, and I like the skills and feats. So if you decide you're not too keen on 4th, get 3rd, which you should be able to find used and therefore cheaper.

I own a d30, but I've never actually used it. You don't need a d100, just a pair of d10s to roll percentile. I don't even use d20s. I roll a d6 and a d10. If the d6 comes up 1-3, then the d10 is 1-10. If it's 4-6, then it's 11-20. However, it's whatever you like best. We can offer all the suggestions, but in the end, it's what works best for the two of you.

And I'm definitely checking out the nearbygamers link.

Wizards of the Coast used to have a ton of stuff from 2nd and 3rd edition in PDF for free dl. I don't remember seeing it last time I was there, but I do hace the files if anyone wants them. they can be big, but they are free after all.

I've got an archive file of the 2nd edition stuff, and it's pretty huge, true enough.

Now I'm fighting the urge to dig out my box of Dragon magazine back issues....
