D&D 4th Edition

The much anticipated Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition was launched last June 7, 2008 with Wizards of the Coast, official publishers of game declaring that day as “Game Day”. A special game day website was made by WotC so that fans and players can hook up with one another to try out the new ed of D&D.

Without D&D, none of this MMORPG or fantasy gaming would have existed. Also, being an old vet of pen-and-paper RPGs, I’m quite excited about the launch too, having heard that the 4th Ed takes D&D gaming into the virtual and online environment with such tools as the D&D Insider.

What’s New with D&D 4th Edition

• Distinct Roles – You have 4 “Character Roles”
  • Defender (Tank),
  • Leader (Healer/Support) ,
  • Controller (Spellcasters, Crowd Control),
  • Striker (DPS) in addition to the classes.
• changes in alignment – now “unaligned” is possible
• Faster-paced combat rules
• Integrated with D&D insider (tools for graphical representation via a PC)
