Thumbs unwaveringly skyward. There's still time for my opinion to change, but I have seen very little at this point that I dislike.
 

Thumbs up. I like what I'm hearing and will be buying it.

Probably won't start a 4E campaign until 2009, but you never know...
 


I'll be in my bunk...

er..

Thumbs up. But I also reaiize that I've only heard the tip of the iceberg, so to speak, so that could change in a moments notice.

Funny thing is that I'm even enjoying the fluff changes.
 


Thumbs up! I am particularly excited about the new math. After playing a fighter in 3E for years, and realizing that my damage output per round was simply not scaling relative to the hit points of the opponents, I think these changes are going to rock!
 

Mechanics: thumbs up
Core fluff: thumbs down
FR changes: thumbs down
DI implementation: thumbs down

Overall, thumbs down.
 

Since you aren't giving me a neutral option, I'm going with thumbs down.

The last shreds of D&D left behind in 3e look are being stripped away, leaving only goofy superficial choices (Attributes still run 3-18+? Why?!). I lost all interest in 3e/3.5 some time ago, and nothing I've seen so far with 4e is poised to bring me back into the fold. Maybe if Living Greyhawk was going to soldier on, but it's being put out to pasture. So with that, I'm done. I'm sure many people will be happy with it, but this just isn't D&D to me anymore. Maybe 8 years from now, when WotC "reinvents" the game again.

That said, I am interested to see how they are going to handle encounters, monster roles, and building terrain and obstacles into the encounter. I'm eager to see if it suffers from the same complications as Iron Heroes.
