I've been a tabletop gamer (RPGs mostly) for quite some time. Right now, I'm in a D & D group that I joined six or eight months ago. The majority of this group have been playing together for the better part of thirty years. I'm still getting used to their style of play. It's quite a bit different from what I'm used to.
There's been some lively discussions lately about the new fourth edition rules that are coming out shortly. Having not invested heavily in 3.5 edition books, I'm not as hesitant to jump into the new books as others might be. However, I hadn't really considered buying the new books (not right away at any rate) until I started reading some positive previews, reviews, and playtests that have trickled out lately. I caught the bug.
So now I've got the starter module, Keep on the Shadowfell, on order (should be delivered tomorrow) and the Core Rules Set pre-ordered. So much for my iron will.
Depending on what I ultimately think about the new system, this may be the first and last purchase I make in this generation of the game. However, I am looking forward to tucking into the new materials, digesting them, and giving them a try. I don't know if this will be the answer to all the woes of generations current and past but I have hope. For now, that is enough.
