Wizards of the Coast is announcing at GenCon today that it will release the 4th Edition of its category-leading Dungeons and Dragon roleplaying game in 2008, the first full new edition in eight years. The three core books will be released next summer on a monthly schedule: Player's Handbook in May, Monster Manual in June, and Dungeon Master's Guide in July. Pricing and page counts of the new products will be consistent with current packaging. Graphics have been updated, art will be used on the covers, and interior design has been opened up to make the books less intimidating to new players.

Lead-in products, Wizards Presents: Classes and Races and Wizards Presents: Worlds and Monsters, will be released in December. An April release, Keep of the Shadowfell, will include a set of quickstart rules for 4E.
For the full press release, head here. (http://www.icv2.com/articles/home/11123.html) The Wizards of the Coast website is currently down from all the traffic due to the announcement, no clue when that will be back up. Theres supposed to be some more info on the D&D part of the website about the new edition.

3.5 fixed quite a few problems, but what a bloody moneysink :(

My friends and I have a fund that we use to buy all the core books. I personally use the SRD because the rules are free, so why buy the books? :p But for campaign specific crap like FR, you have to buy the books which sucks. I have the entire (3.0/3.5) FR collection except a few books, so it looks like those will be worthless :p At least for #s.

This SRD (http://www.systemreferencedocuments.org/35/sovelior_sage/home.html) = win.

I think we should sell all of our books besides the core books.. wait about a month before the release of 4.0 then sell the 3.5 books we have... what do you think?
