Love the card game, love the idea, but HOLY STICKER SHOCK! By comparison, the 320-page D&D 4e Player's Handbook retails for $34.95. I think that this is going to hurt sales a bit for Fantasy Flight. I know that I can't afford to buy this game, and I've been looking forward to it for a long time.
I went with an older edition. I came of age when 2nd Ed. hit, and loved it...then watched it turn into something I wasn't fond of. Skills and Powers sort of ruined it for me. Thus I was a huge fan of 3e when it launched...and the same thing happened. I remember convincing my players to go with 3rd because all the rules we needed would be in one place, easy to access, and most of all, CHEAP! Now I have more hardcovers on my shelf than I ever had for 2nd. I just know this will happen with 4th as well, not to mention I have been following the Design and Development articles at WotC.com, and I can honestly say I'm apprehensive about the direction in which they are taking the game. It feels too much like "Final Fantasy" to me...I like video games, but I want my pencil & paper RPG to be a different thing from my video RPG. Thus I have returned to AD&D 1e/OD&D, at least for now. The PDFs are a huge bargain, at any rate. ;) |
