Scott Alden (Aldie) of BGG plays 4E!

[MerricB]

For those who don't know, "Aldie" is the co-founder of www.boardgamegeek.com, which I consider the most amazing gaming review & discussion site on the internet.

He played his first D&D game in 15 years this weekend, using the 4e rules. His reaction is here:

Interesting on seeing a boardgamer's perspective on it.

Cheers!

Boardgamers can't but love 4e. It is in their territory.

This game could have been slapped in a box with a bunch of miniatures and called WoW the RPG and probably sold a few million more copies.

I totally agree with this guy. This is the offline version of WoW.

AND NO, japanese SRPGs do NOT play like WoW.

Yep, D&D4E is like a conglomerate between P&P-RPG, MMO-RPG, and Tactical Boardgame.

AND action RPGs like Diablo & Titan Quest - maybe even more so than MMORPGs.

I liked Final Fantasy Tactics more.
