I wonder how they're going to handle attacks per round? I hated 4ed 1 per round because it always felt like everyone had a 50/50 chance of completely failing in their given turn. This was compounded by the fact that almost all magic similarly rolled to hit. On the other end of the spectrum, I...

Pretty self-explanatory, but what do you think? Easy: superbalanced encounters and loot, no death traps, zero death penalty. Normal: Fairly balanced encounters and loot, few death traps, low death penalty. Hard: Encounters with high degree of difficulty and extremely randomized loot, lots of...

I think having the core DDI stuff free with paid content is a better business model. Basically everyone signs up, and gets to tailor their own personal D&D experience. I would much rather pay a dollar or two for a new class, race, or whatnot, than pay a monthly sub. It seems to me that these...

Hahahahaha!!!! Seriously I did. I can't explain it, but for some reason I love that movie. I figure that I'm probably crazy, but I like the idea of losing touch with reality. Most of the senile folks I meet are actually quite happy, and there's something super cool about a game that has that...

I posted a comment directed toward you on the 5e thread which I am not proud of. I was once very confrontational in real life, and, although I have moved beyond that, the same poor behavior seems to work its way into online forums from time to time. I was drunk, which is a poor defense, when I...

What percentage of role players would you say are attractive? While in high school, the group I played with was mostly average in attractiveness. However, although most of us were antisocial, a few of us were above average looking. Also, my group was entirely male. As I have gotten older, I...

A while ago I quit posting here since I believe so called "edition wars" should be an important part of the growth of RPG design philosophy. I gave realistic reasons why I felt WotC had failed, and this site didn't take kindly to it. I think a big reason why the opinions on sites such as this...

Okay, it would seem to me that about 50% of the gaming community is unhappy with 4th Edition. This is bad. If 50% of a gaming group doesn't show up to play, the campaign is probably over. 4th Edition has sold well (my friends and I all bought the gift set), however profit margins for the...

By this time tomorrow, the ban on "edition wars" should have been lifted. I'm pretty neutral on this, because I've played 'em all, and believe each edition has a unique set of pros and cons. I certainly welcome the ability to discuss such matters, and will enjoy the heated debates. Personally, I...

In in effort to atone for my previous post (Why I don't like 4th edition), I've decided to start a thread detailing the things I like about the current dnd. I'll admit it was my first post, so maybe I was being too idealistic. I accidentally started a supposed "Edition War", and thus the thread...

I grew up playing 1st/2nd edition, among other games. I liked but didn't love 3rd edition, as I felt for everything they fixed something else was broken. Last year I played a LOT of SWSE and had the best time of my life!!! This is why I was really excited about 4th edition. Then I played it...
