New website... eh. For now it's just shilling the 4th edition (plus whatever 3.5E products trickle out this year). I'm assuming when the real (usable) content comes out, it'll be for paying members of that whole Gleemax D&D Insider thing. I'm not as bothered about the changeover to the new edition as some people might be, as I used to be more of a collector than a player, so there's a sizable portion of stuff that I own but have never used in actual play.
Having played all editions up to and including 3.0 (my last group broke up prior to 3.5), I do feel the current combat mechanic is a little too clunky at times in comparison to earlier editions, so I'm glad they're working on streamlining that. So far I like some of the things they're planning on changing, but there's also a fair bit of stuff that just seems pointless and/or dumb. I dunno. I'll probably pick up the 2nd printing, after they've caught all the typos from the 1st one.
The teaser video is kind of obnoxious. I get that they're trying to be funny... but they're
not...
