My 1st Impressions of 4th ed, I picked up all 3 core books and KoTS. My son and my 2 nephews are all 14-15yrs old and have been playing in our 3.5 campaign (pathfinder) for some time and really enjoy it. But they absolutely loved 4th edition it was much more video gamey for them and all about combat. I find it a bit more shallow and less flexible than 3.x but I think WoTC did a great job with it. It will definitely appeal to the younger crowd. I plan to continue my 3.x campaigns with my older friends and play 4th with the kids.
One interesting note is that they wanted to "duel" their characters...yes you will find these boys in WoW randomly challenging people to duels....
The results:
Dwarf Fighter lost to both the human wizard and the dragonborn Pally
Human Wizard beat Dwarf Fighter and lost to Dragonborn Pally
Dragonborn Pally - Pwned them all
Keep in mind these 3 kids were all about the same skill level and they were using the pregens from KoTS
Fighters seem a bit underpowered he had a heck of a time hitting the AC20 Paladin and the Paladin had no problems hitting the fighter or the wizard.
