A gaming buddy just sent me a link to somebody liveblogging Dungeons & Dragons Experience, where WotC is giving folks a preview of 4th edition: http://ddxp.tumblr.com/

Some highlights so far:

New Player’s Handbook every year with new and updated classes

Sounds a little odd to me. I hope they’ll be making the changes available online to existing PHB owners for free or very cheap. I don’t want to have to buy a new book every year. (Correction: Looks like it’ll be a supplement, not a new book).
2008 Releases

DM’s screen sounds nice and hefty. Forgotten Realms in August with a Player’s Book in September. Hopefully I can make do with the current 3.x version until then, if I end up running a FR game.
D&D Insider

Online character sheets. Much nicer than the quickie hacks I/we always use for tracking those things. Rules database. Some kind of virtual game table? Interesting.
