Waiting for 4e

I received notice today that my D&D 4e gift set has shipped from Amazon.com. I did not expect to be as excited to have them as I am. I do enjoy reading RPGs, even if I end up never playing them. (Something my wife teases me about.)

My wife and I have recently begun playing D&D with our eight year-old. The games have been our first experience with 3e, so to be moving on to 4e so soon may seem a little weird. It may work out for the best though, as we can acclimate to the rules changes without carrying over some of the system baggage others seem to be lugging.

I read the 24 hours on the Shadowfell over at the Game Design is about Structure blog and learned something interesting. In the 4e introductory adventure, the PCs are journeying to the town of Winterhaven. This is interesting because, you see, I live in Winter Haven.
