So did anyone check this out? I am about to, but from what the guys at work were saying it is very much like D&D 4E in game form, with a bit of mechanic changes around Utility and Dailies. And it comes with the Foundry - which is what you can use to make your own adventures.
And its a FTP game! D&D P4E Players at work love it... so I am going to check it out.
There's a guy at my work who'd really like to try it. Me, however? Although I use electronic tools, I would like to keep my table-top RPG separate from my electronic games. Although the rules nowadays are basically video game based.
I was poking through some PDFs at http://www.dndclassics.com/index.php?filters=0_0_44699 (this is the Basic/Expert set of rules, not AD&D, that's in another part of that site), and I fondly remembered how simple the rules used to be. And also, how completely unlike a video game they were.
I saw an extensive Beta video a while back, I have to say I'm just not built for MMOs.
Guild Wars II was such a disappointment (never even made lvl 20) it's kind of put me off investing.
