[QUOTE="wayne62682, post: 5529632, member: 40455"] After about a year (or more? I forget) of a D&D hiatus I might be playing again with some friends. Now, the last thing I recall was a few months before Dark Sun was released; I think PHB3 had just come out. What, if anything, has changed majorly in the D&D world? I saw these little paperback books, Heroes of Forgotten something-or-other and Heroes of Fallen Lands; are these new rules or stripped down versions? I still have, somewhere, my 4e books - are they still relevant or has there been so much errata that I may as well buy something new? How's the DDI front coming? I guess the VTT never materialized (not that we thought it would); was it finally admitted it was never coming or is it still "coming soon"? My DDI subscription is long since expired and I'm not sure if I'll resub (I went to the Dark Side and became an avid WoW player during my hiatus so that gets the money I would pay to DDI) but might consider it if it was worth it. In short I'm looking for a summary of any major changes to D&D since I haven't looked at nor touched anything about it. I see this new "D&D Encounters" thing but it requires a game store and I don't have one in my area at all (why on earth they keep putting these things out and requiring you to do it at a game store is beyond me; I'd love to be able to do that kind of thing for home games and get prebuilt adventures and such).
