This page has much of the info that has been released as well some speculation concerning the changes being made.

Personally, I'm pretty excited for the new edition and am looking forward to seeing how it turns out. I like the idea of Talent Trees rather than Feats especially, and the changing of certain Core Races and Classes is to be expected with a new Edition. Also, simplifying grappling will make certain players so much easier to deal with.

So come in and discuss this so I can stop accidentally bringing it up in improper threads.



Official Release date for the 3 Core Books is June 6th. There is also an adventure coming out in May that is basically going to be a lvl 1 - 3 Demo Dungeon introducing the new rules and mechanics if you are so interested called "Keep on the Shadowfell".

Dimmukane:
I'm fairly psyched.  Although, my usual DM made a few of these rule changes on his own...still.  Looking forward to it.  Have any of you seen the movie Gamerz?

OnewingedAngel:
"The Shadow?!"

Personally, as a player I am highly against the game. I dislike the rule changes. It's gone from a somewhat challenging game to any 13 year old with  a basic grasp of writing and reading skills can play. It takes away the patience aspect. It is now a pen and paper video game. Somebody bring back THACO.

Alex C:
Ugh. I hate THAC0 and everything it stands for. I grew up with it and all, but 2nd Edition AD&D and previous systems were terrible in many respects. The base combat rules were extremely simplistic which would be fine if it weren't for the fact that the Fighter is standing right there and combat is all he does. It's exactly what led to a metric ton of increasingly ridiculous supplements being released as well as players coming up with tons of goony houserules like critical fumbles that would cause a master swordsman to have a 5% chance to kick his own ass with any given swing. Plus, I seem to remember playing 2nd Edition AD&D; I was 13 at the time, so I'm going to go out on a limb and say it could still be played by 13 year olds, 'cuz I sure as hell wasn't gifted.

SevenPinkerton:
I'm just annoyed that new editions come out so frequently. I couldn't even afford to buy the last one. But eventually everyone will be using the new system and it'll be needed.
