ARGHHH! Who put this HIVE here?!

I don't get it either but if its what they want to talk about I'm going to stop them. I just choose not to read it.

Hehe, it is getting pretty crazy. I mostly ignore it because I am not interested in 4e at all. And I do not buy PDFs, so all this craze over the PDFs is inapplicable to me.

Could people please spend more time talking about playing the game instead of discussing whether D&D is serious business, WotC is still important, RPG or D&D 4 is failing or whatever nonsense else?

I am not really here to talk about business practice or legalese. I want to have fun with the game, and I want to read about tricks, cool stories, interesting questions on how to make the game even more enjoyable and all the good stuff!

I hear you. I blame The April Fool's "Joke" and WotC's PDF fiasco for that. I sort of miss how ENWorld was before 4e was announced. You know when EnWorld's rpg discussion was about tinkering with the rules and having fun.

Yup, now it is mostly about Legal stuff dealing with RPGs, and the occasional Hasbro business memo.

I am not even really interested in DnD anymore really, at least I am not interested in 4E. I do still like 3.5 and I am really interested in Pathfinder. I do enjoy Worldbuilding, but I am more interested in running in Dragonlance if I was going to use DnD to run a setting. I find I like to take an existing setting, and add elements I like to it rather than creating a whole new world.

It's wierd. My current portfolio class has a lot of people who should have already did portfolio in it. The teacher was surprised to see me and several others in the class.

Meaning that they should have already taken the class?

Another thing about playing in an established setting, say The Wheel of Time for example. I would ideally like to have it so the PCs do not play second fiddle to the protagonists of the novels. So, I would have it turn out that the Big Bad of the novels is REALLY being manipulated by someone else, so the PCs are dealing with The Man Behind The Man - Television Tropes & Idioms. Or in The Wheel of Time's case, The Man behind the Dark One.

For me, I've become an M&M player. I love the freedom that M&M gives. I love how it streamlines the D20 system and adds the point based gaming onto it successfully (as much as I loved GoO, BESM d20 and SaS d20 sucked).

I personally wish that True20 was loved by more people since True20 would be a nice substitute for standard d20, but alas, True20 is not even a blip on
EnWorld. Thankfully, GR created enough material for M&M that I think it now could easily be used to do anything that True20 and DnD was able to do (save for Monty Haul adventuring).
