dungeons and dragons

I've always wanted to play but A) have known no one who was into it, and b) I don't really get it lol. Maybe someone could enlighten me?

I've been playing DnD alot lately. I have two neighbors that I play v3.5 with every week or so, and I'm soon going to be joining some buddies from school to join a 4.0 game. And, I have a question, mainly for Behold the Void. Is it hard to switch from v3.5 rules to 4.0?

Not particularly. 4e is really easy to pick up in general, even for the uninitiated. Some basics to remember:

What used to be saving throws are now defenses. Every ability requires an attack roll vs. one of four numbers, AC, Reflex, Fortitude, or Will. It's still the simple d20+modifiers vs. static number.

Just about every roll you make gets a bonus equal to 1/2 your level rounded down. Attack rolls, defenses, skill checks, what have you.

Saving throws are now to end ongoing effects and are a flat succeed on a 10 or greater each turn.

So long as your to-hit exceeds the target's defense, a 20 is always a confirmed critical and it does damage as if you had rolled maximum on your damage dice (possibly adding extra dice that you do physically roll depending on your weapon or power used).

Number [W] = the amount of damage dice you do when using a power. Thus, when using a 2 [W] power with a greatsword (which does 1d10), if you hit, you roll 2d10 for damage, in addition to other static modifiers.

Charging is now a standard action that is a move and a basic attack action. Thus, you can move before you do it. HOWEVER, once you finish a charge, your turn ends.

Beyond that, it's pretty simple in the core combat. Decide what kind of power to use, make an attack roll, try to roll high.

We should attempt an on line Eoff DnD game

I have tried on various occasions to do this with little success. There are simply issues of schedule conflicts (if trying to play in real time) or lack of interest (on a play by post basis)

I wouldn't mind DMing a 3.5 campaign/adventure.

I tried to set one up myself awhile back, didn't pan out. However, I've got something in the works now for EoFF tabletop fans, more information on that will be forthcoming around the end of the month.
