If the low-ish end bar in these parts can do it with a shot mixture, I don't see how TMP would be able to not pull that off. :P

Why? Because it might remind the monsters that they're, y'know, monsters?:erm: Has political correctness actually gone that far in the chats, where characters dressing up as, say, vampires, could be misconstrued as racist for pointing out that, shock and horror, the vast majority of the world...

Oh, I understand it, too. But what I don't like (and what bothers me) is the hypocrisy of "Elementals that are just walking walls of a single element are boring" turning into "Here are elemental archons that are walls of a single element wearing armour and are really cool". I don't even have a...

Yep, there are chaotic evil (apparently, anything elemental related is chaotic evil now if it's intelligence is past a certain level, at least from my look over the material) Ice and Fire archons, because WotC thought that a "cool name" like Archon was better used on something other than the...

And this is precisely the sort of selfish and shortsighted perspective that has so many people in violent opposition to the 4E Realms. You don't like the NPCs, the deities, the depth of the setting - then the setting isn't for you, and another one likely is. The problem with that point of...

Resisting needless, poorly reasoned change for change's sake =/= "set in their ways". If the changes made had legitimate reasons (other than the money) and actually solved problems that a smaller, optional rules-set could have fixed (and, gasp, continued to sell existing published products to...

Probably because it's exactly that - just another elf. 3.5 had five elves between the PhB and Monster Manual (plus another 2 from Forgotten Realms, and about 8 more from Dragon magazine), having two (three counting the partial drow entry, which is probably all that we're getting on them based...

Aren't rhetorical questions with obvious answers fun and educational? :) Welcome, sir, to Sigil. Where you can play whatever you want to, disguised or undisguised, with no limitations beyond what other players are willing to interact with. You mean, like any other freakish race that isn't...

Is it really that different? From a normal mortal's perspective, tell me the difference between a 4E tiefling and a 4E devil that would make a tiefling seem like someone you'd welcome into your town without a single Drizztism about having proven himself. If you believe it, prove it. And...

I've got the books too. Anyone that wants my opinion and knows me, can request a link to me personally, as my review is posted elsewhere (and would be a CoC violation to boot, because I loathe the result of the system just that much - it's childish and simplified to the point of no longer...

As far as the main point, I think that's been covered quite nicely. People get bored, want to branch out, try something new, and make new characters to do so. I know I've fallen into the same sort of rut as Jeajea for the most part, since I interacted almost strictly with Sril've Cress players...

And, as I'm quickly learning, adds more of a workload to an already overloaded schedule. :P It's a lot of work, but it's very rewarding to see a plan come to fruition, especially when you start to get to know different people as the plot grows and expands that you can actually get along with...

I'm neutral on the matter, since I've never been a fan of Forgotten Realms old or new. Fortunately, 4E research is something I've been doing a lot of... but I haven't seen much that the bulk of fans of the Realms will like. In short summary of things most relevant to the Rotunda in particular...

Again, not a Magi, but they aren't leaving it open because this is not a spam forum. The first two were locked for a reason, and re-opening it for a second time is just childish and immature behaviour when it is painfully clear why they were closed. If you really want to do something to bring...

Spam is a term that applies to anything that has nothing to do with the place where it is posted, or has no real substance or purpose. It includes not only advertising, but also off-topic posts, and threads with no real topic (like this one, as far as I can tell). And no, unless I'm gravely...
