It's out.

Anyone (named Denis) pick it up today? Thoughts?

As soon as I found out it was released (at about 10pm on Slashdot) I sort of had an impulse to buy it! I had a small fantasy of playing D&D again! It just seems so fun!

Briefly read some good things about it, like it has positive comparisons to WoW and that everyone has powers that are fun to use, so no more 'not the healing kind of clerics' in the party.

Dunno. Might get it for nostalgia sake?

EDIT: Actually, reading up on it a lil bit on BGG and it appears that it is a superior tactical boardgame masquerading as a roleplaying game. So it is like Descent: Road to Legend, but with better tactical combat. There is actually a section in the new DMG that says you can play D&D w/o a DM as long as you make an encounter deck, etc....

Very interesting proposition....
