New edition of D&D.
2 of 2 found this helpful I have played D&D for years, and I have to admit, I was nervous when I first looked at the new players handbook. The new core races were over the top, and all the classes seemed as complicated as the wizard.
After reading through it and playing a game, however, I have enjoyed this edition more than any previous version of the game. If you are looking for an update of Dungeons and Dragons, this isn't it. Instead, this game was totally redesigned from the ground up. It takes several of the things I loved about D&D and streamlines them. Wizards are no longer firecrackers, and clerics are no longer walking bandaid boxes. A party of adventurers can now last more than two encounters without having to rest for the night.
New simpler rules, and more abilities without daily limits let the game go on.
