Here are his thoughts.I am not a big D&D fan. I generally played it coz my friends did. Therefore I don't find myself having any affinity or fondness for the game. It does what it says on the tin and that is fine.I am a novice 3rd ed player which is why I went for Ranger.With hindsight I enjoyed the game more than I thought...If I had made better use of surges to buff my HP I dont think I would have died... If the players had concentrated more on what the rules say we can do eg Action points, and not on what we cant we would have got further. Having attended the D&D seminar at UK gencon I sort of knew what to expect from the game.My opinion is the same. New D&D is catering for the Warcraft generation and that is what the game needs if it is to survive. Your weapons do more damage but you have more hit points, you have more healing so you can go for longer...Simple. i think if we played the game again we would have a better handle on it. I don't know if it was better, it kind of felt like "the same but differrent". Bits of the game are instantly recognisable, Str, Dex and Con etc, but the combat skill system could be from any game so will be easy to use in other genres and I don't know if a D&D purist will like that. I will probably buy D&D 4th, but am not looking forward to it as much as waiting for new Dark Heresy books.Cheers,Cole</blockquote>
