"Having not picked up a D&D book since the 2nd edition there was a lot to take in but on the whole I liked it. This is not a book for reading, in the most part, it's for reference."
"I'm old school 1e - playing off and on for 30 years. I don't like 4e at all. It is too power intensive obviously geared towards a younger generation of gamers. The tragedy here is that all of this power mongering / munchkin-like aspects dilute the ROLE-PLAYING and the emphasis on the STORY, which should be the primary mover in any campaign.
"The new 4E Player's Handbook is a mixed bag. Parts of it are great and parts are disappointing. The descriptions and pictures are all great. Unfortunately, the organization is less than ideal. As a reference manual, the organization is acceptable. However, a first-time reader may find parts confusing. For example, rituals are mentioned in many of the classes, but aren't actually addressed until the last chapter of the entire book. Actions and movement are discussed frequently, but the details aren't listed until near the end of the book.
On the other hand, this organization focuses more on characters, classes and the role-playing aspect than past editions. New readers may find themselves more interested because they can begin to visualize a character before they have to worry about the gritty details.
Despite some of my disappointments, I think it's very good and far more approachable than earlier editions."
