Dungeons and Dragons 4.0

I, personally, do not like Edition 4 as much as 3.5. However, whether or not you like them depends entirely on your tastes. The main thing that I don't like is the fact that, as you may have noticed, the more D&D progresses, the less serious and more like a video-game it becomes. 3.5 suffered partially from this, but not so much as 4. Mostly, WotC is trying to appeal to a broader market, and is thus killing the spirit of Dungeons and Dragons. For instance, having each character choose from a generic "Epic Destiny" really degenerates the whole Role-Playing aspect. And the once-per-encounter spells detract from realism. They also simplified some things, such as combat, that I feel did not need to be simplified. But, as I said, it all depends on what you like.
