5.0 out of 5 stars A different game, a fresh start, 22 May 2009
By G. C. Froggatt (Britain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've played D&D on and off since I was at school. A bit of a 2nd ed veteran, I skipped 3rd and 3.5 and I've just started back with 4th in the same group that I used to game with.

The core rulebooks in this set are of a high production quality, the rules are clear and well thought out. We played our first game last weekend and everyone loved it. Despite living in completly different parts of the country these days, may group can't wait to get back together for our second adventure.

Do the rules seem more like a video game? Yes, they do. Does this allow for a better combat gaming experience? In my opinion, yes. You don't even need to use all the expensive miniatures and tiles, a grid and some tiddlywinks will work just fine.

Some have complained that it's dumbed down and that there's no roleplaying, but I say that's daft - you don't need rules to roleplay, you can add that in yourself, there's no extra charge. I firmly believe that D&D has to evolve over time to entice new players, excite old players and to avoid stagnating.

So, for new players: If you like fantasy and games, this is a new incarnation of the grandaddy of all rpg, buy these books or try out the £10 starter set (also available from amazon). If you're an old player: Don't listen to internet whinging, give it a shot and make your mind up for yourself!

4.0 out of 5 stars 4th edition saves the game, 20 Jun 2008
By Michael Davey (Leytonstone) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had tired of running games under third edition some years ago mainly because it was a lot of hard work to DM for characters over 10th level. I went and played Savage worlds for a few years which is a lot easier to run. I wasn't going to buy 4th edition writing it of as a corporate money grab but I got a chance to play in a demo game and i had a lot of fun. I have now run it a few times and my players and I have had a good time. sure their are problems with it, familiar races and classes are missing but it is so much more easier to run and prepare for and my players are enjoying the increase in options in combat and role playing scenes. Its a nice tactical wargame with added roleplaying. The Skill challenge rules really encourage roleplaying.

3.0 out of 5 stars DON'T BUY THIS GIFT PACK!!!, 28 Jul 2008
At the time of writing this review, this gift set is £54.99. However, if you buy the 3 core rules individually, you'll save a further £10 (£44.97).

I've not actually got 4th Ed yet, but with so many people either really loving it or hating it, I think I'll just wait until the price comes down for these books (if it gets much less than £15 each). I've enjoyed playing from 2nd Ed right through to 3.5 Ed, but one thing I do agree on is that WotC is certainly trying to make as much cash as possible, like Magic: The Gathering!
