4E Hype

Fourth Edition D&D hits the shelves on June 6 2008. There a lot of hype on the net. Hard to find the real story. Here's some relatively authentic sounding articles.

Wired
This one includes links to pictures of actual (from Wizards but maybe not final) 4E character sheets.

Ain't It Cool News [1][2][3]
A three part review from some one who was in a play testing group. This one is pretty interesting. He says he started off not wanting to like 4E but ended up really liking it for the speed of play. Something we've been looking for.

Geekdad
A less informative piece, but does contain links to some Wizards books that are essentially design diaries from the 4E game designers. For people interested in what they were thinking. The books supposedly contain no information at all about actual game mechanics.
