All, what do you think about buying the new 4E core books? I'm thinking about preordering them, but wanted some feedback.
AND I'M BACK ON THE BOARDS!

Re: 4E Core Books- thoughts
As you know, I'm planning on reading the SRD first (releases the same day). Based on the previews, I'm fairly optimistic for it, at least from a crunch perspective, which is all that really matters if you don't mind reflavoring things anyway. I'll pick up a hardcopy PHB, most likely, but as I don't really DM, the SRD DMG and MM should be plenty for me.
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pron surfed, weak and weary,
Over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore',
While I clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour,
"'Tis not possible!", I muttered, "Give me back my free hardcore!

Will lives!
I'm still not sure. Call me crazy, but I was looking forward to, at least, a few more years of 3.5. Nonetheless, the concept that everyone gets "powers" now has me thoroughly intrigued. If I do get the hardcopies, I'll be getting them off of amazon.

Re: 4E Core Books- thoughts
Drew, I once did a 4e trial run with Dave Blizzard, and I can tell you, at least as far as I'm concerned, that the whole 'everybody gets powers' business is not all that it's cracked up to be. The ones I got (I was the group's pally) were kinda like manuevers in 3.5, except more gimmicky than actually useful.

I think I'm going to do the same as Dave. I'll mooch off some guys here who have already preordered, then if I like it I can buy.

Re: 4E Core Books- thoughts
Sticking with 3.5 until I finish and get a chance to test my homebrew, probably within a year or two. Not a fan of 4's flavor, though I do like some of the rules I've seen. I may jump on the 4e bandwagon if they do Eberron well.
I'm writing a game.
I'm also writing up a little setting to playtest it in.

Re: 4E Core Books- thoughts
That's assuming they get around to Eberron. I don't recall them saying anything about it at GenCon last year.

Re: 4E Core Books- thoughts
FR comes out in September, Eberron next year. They've said they plan to do a setting a year or so, meaning they'll bring back...say, Dark Sun? Planescape?

Hell, if they bring back Dark Sun color me interested. That'd be sweet.
