Dungeons and Dragonballz, hehe. Great.
I would not say that I dont like the way D&D goes now. I even find it better than the previous 2 editions. But maybe thats just me and my love of using technology in an new, innovative way.
4.0. goes a step farther than other roleplaying games and evolves in a real modern 21st century game. I looked at some interviews and videos (from youtube) where they explained 4.0.
Well lets look what a real 4.0 player will need
-4.0. miniatures (the old 3.5er minis are not fully usable in 4.0. as an employee from WotC meant in an interview),
-a laptop with internet connection,
-a blizz..ähem WotC subscription
-of course the 4.0. core books and adventures
They dont offer a conversion kit to update characters from 3.5 to 4.0, because they said that the editions are too different. Instead they said that the D&D GMs should finish their 3.5. campaign in the next several months and then begin the new 1st level 4th ed. campaigns.
I am sure D&D will become a great hybrid between board, computer and roleplaying-light game.
Anybody wondering why I still prefer BRP?
