- wonderful updates
The 4e rules are a huge breath of fresh air. Combat and character gen are streamlined, and (in my mind) unnecessary details are omitted. This game gets back to its roots allowing players (and DMs) to focus on playing the game, rather than becoming rules lawyers.

For DMs it is 50 times easier to draw up an encounter, and for players combat is fast and furious. Love the set, love the games.

- Absolutely Awful
I was a huge fan of 3.5 and looking forward to the release of 4.0. The changes they made in 4.0 were terrible. This version is a huge step backwards (unless your 9 years old). I'm probably going to send them back because I know I will never use them. If you haven't bought them yet, don't. If you have and you agree I suggest signing the online petition asking WOTC to continue to support 3.5: http://www.petitiononline.com/DND4E/petition.html

I'd rather they had a petition to recall 4E though.

- Its all in the packaging
This product has nice packaging. All 3 basic books in a nice looking box. This is not a review on the content of the books, as it will take a while to review such, and this isnt the place for it. The books are nicely made, and the binding are strong(sometimes this isnt the case). The outer box is durable and looks good on the shelve.

- A good improvement over 3E
Dungeon and Draongs 4th Edition is a big improvement over 3E. The biggest improvements comes in streamlining the game, and not making the classes so front loaded. This means, that players will be able to better plan for the long running campaign. I also enjoy the paired down skill system, but I am a little unhappy that skills no longer get points but auto level when a character does.

The books are well made, feature fantastic art and binding. The editing has been pretty good and the books are well made. Since it is D&D, the support should be there and I'm glad they reset the line and set it up for the next decade.

- Disappointing
Character concept options are far more limiting. Multi-classing is essentially gone. The focus of character abilities shifted to a small and generic collection of powers for each class. Character creation for D&D 4e could be viewed as a prototype for a D20 implementation of Exalted.

The game shifts focus away further from simulation into just being a game. It's a conscious shift away from trying to seem real into utter fantasy. You will frequently be left wondering what a mechanic represents. Weapons, armor, economy, and so forth are abstracted even further than any previous version to where they have lost all basis in reality. It simply wasn't a priority in the design of this game to have any basis on anything.

Priority was placed on an unsuccessful attempt at simplication. Gains in streamlining the system in one place are offset by losses to new complications.

I view D&D 4e game play to be more like Warhammer Quest, which can also be used as a roleplaying game, but where the game was clearly designed to be played with minatures. This will complicate some styles of play.

The base power levels don't necessarily change relative to one another, but the numeric representation of them is different. The new system makes it very difficult to play out larger combats between normal soldiers. If that's an important aspect to your game, you will either have to prop up D&D 4e with house rules, switch to another system for mass combat, or just continue to use D&D 3.5.
