My greatest fear is that they will find a dozen new ways to milk all of our money from us by charging an arm and a leg for all the junk on the Internet. Curse you Hasbro! Wizards was so much less dastardly before Hasbro.

Oh, and yeah, that was a terrible presentation. Whoever made it quite obviously had no clue how to use power point. *waves of hatred*

I have a problem to understand how they can still name D&D 4th Ed. a "Roleplaying" game. I mean, come on !!! We'll end up playing characters that are "supposed" to do specific things (with their limitless amount of "how to play that class" crap) on a computer with people we dont see. There is WoW for that kinf of play. In D&D, I want to SEE my friends ROLEPLAYING while I describe an IMAGINARY world.

Let's hope thet dont forget the RP in RPG.

I still prefer 1st and 2nd editions because I remember playing them when they first came out. But I agree with Adelryk, regardless of which edition you like D&D is a game you play WITH FRIENDS, not online with people you don't know. A major part of D&D is the bonding with your friends and enjoying their company. You can't do that on the internet!

this is wat i do, i use the 3.5 rules, but i mix some of my own rules in wit my friends, im not changing the entire couse or the game, i ghange it a little, like items, i add alittle, so when 4th rules comes out ill mix with 3.5, to the way i find it best,i can even do 3.5 rules on the computers dnd.

I believe that BESM D20 was the best single and simple evolution to the D20 system...it takes out the static development os characters and shows up a very simple and dinamic way to develop characters...and the rules are quite simple, just like i believe they were in the 3 edition system...

browncoat2814 you are so right

[sonicalchemist1129]

this is way to much of a jump,if DnD dies i'm gonna be pissed DnD is fun as a table top game,plz let this have a table top

I think WOTC have shot themselves in the foot. I've been playing the 3.5 Rules and I love them. There not hard to learn if you got the time. Sure there are some things that I still dont know. But I'm not gonna play it if it goes to computer. I'll stick with the outdated rules and have fun. I feel that this new version will either make or break DnD forever

[itchiryu]

seems good BUT they ARE a bunch of guys ho just think about money

[BryanWells]

Poor presentation....especially one intended to launch a new product! The new product has potential to be a great product...but I'm really worried that it's more about making money than improving on their product.
