I always said 4.0 is what dnd would have been if blizzard made it.
5.0 plays a lot more like 3.0 and 3.5, though it has some elements of 4.0 as well (some good, some bad). Depending on how this new group I'm trying out goes, we might do pathfinder in the future, I'm told it's really just 3.75, and that I'd like it if I played it.
Damdred and I spoke about this a couple of months ago.
I thought of running a campaign for the pj's. The biggest challenge being time. There are great programs out there such as d20 pro, that would make it simple for the group.
Never be cleric, you'll just get relegated to healing .
"Oh, it's my turn, what interesting thing can i do? Oh, wait, our dwarven fighter recklessly rushed in like always and is already at half health? Guess I'll spend my turn healing again"
Truth. Although, honestly, I viewed the game of D&D I played as less nerdy than our never-quite-dying loyalty to our online-text-based space war math/strategy simulation game :P
i'm playing a Half Elf (Drow) Sorcerer. i'm limiting myself to elemental abilities for the sake of roleplayability and with being half drow and having an 18 charisma, i feel like this could be a really fun character to play. i just need to get past the part when i'm too squishy to take more than one hit.
I havent played D&D since high school. It was our Mon and Wed game. Tues and Thurs were for Star Wars RPG. Fri was DC Heroes RPG and Sat was Palladium (Usually Rifts) That was our summer schedule 2 yrs in a row. During school it was harder to get everyone together as some of us played sports (ok only me.. football and basketball) and some of them had band (every-fucking-body else) but we tried a rotating schedule on Sundays.

but i just watched the storytelling part, so i pretty much saw nothing different :P
(the character sheet is pretty diferent though)
I moved on to pathfinder.
4.0 makes me think of tabletop mmo
