I manged to find the D&D podcasts at the Wizards of the Coast site, and took an interest at the Penny Arcade and PvP ones where the artists of the respective sites take 4th edition for a ride.
It has been years since I last played a game of D&D (AD&D being the latest version at the time) and I have to say, I am regaining my interest in the game. While time is an issue and would keep my playtime limited, it is not the primary issue for starting up the game.
My impression of the game so far is from those podcasts and reading the books. Finding the right people to play with is a huge factor for having fun in D&D. Last time I played, it was with neighbors and high school chums and we had, despite some occassional arguments, a lot of fun. The Penny Arcade and PvP podcasts are hillarious because they all share something in common and the artists are long time friends.
That's not to say I will not be able to find a group that "clicks" with me, but I am not sure I want to start the process of finding one. I'm going to finish the series and see if it empowers the geek within. =)
