Haha - maybe you're right.. Fun to dream though!

I've always liked the idea of spell cards with one exception - I wish they had individual art, unique to each spell, on the backs of each card.. It doesn't have to be anything elaborate, but a simple fireball on the back of the fireball card sure would bring some personality to them.. The...

I don't have the starter set, so my speculation could be less valuable than others', but here is a thought: Maybe having a TPK (or at least a good chance of one) at the end of the adventure was a design decision by WOTC.. After all, there doesn't appear to be anywhere to go after you finish the...

I haven't posted in forever, but this guy's blog post reminds me of a topic I brought up years ago - I didn't understand why many folks were so obsessed with such specific character options.. Needless to say the responses were all over the board, and I'm sure those who thought it was a stupid...

I know this is an "unofficial" monster creation, but I thought 4E was aiming at simplified stat blocks! That thing is huge! No offense to you of course, Delgar. ;)

Okay, thanks for the help. What's an iterative attack again?

This is a very noob question, and I'm sure something like it has been discussed before, but I need to know: As someone who never played 3E, why did its rounds take so long? I hear that overall battle time in 4E is about equal to 3E, but in 3E you had very long, but fewer rounds. Why? Is it...

That's a good point. I'm planning on buying all the WoTC published adventures [see current avatar ;) ] and probably lots of third party ones as well, so as long as I can get into the story lines of the Epic modules whatsoever, I'll probably give them a try. Once again, great discussion...

Good replies, all! I guess its just a "flavor" or "fluff" thing really. I agree its encouraging that it should stay balanced and playable at high levels, but I never really got into battling gods, flying at will, coming back from the dead at ease, or even planar travel (which I know is...

I just have a feeling I wouldn't enjoy the Epic tier. It doesn't sound like my kind of game at all. That said, up through level 20 sounds awesome. I imagine once I get through Paragon, I'd want the campaign to end. This isn't a revelation, though. Even in Massawyrm's early review...

I totally see what you're saying and for the most part, I agree with you. Assuming I'm understanding the statement correctly, here's one way to look at it: People generally don't use magic on mundane things, such as a plow that works by itself, for fear that others will be able to "reverse...

Agreed. Didn't they say "down with needless symmetry" ?

Exactly. All I want 3rd parties for are adventures and monster books.

They mentioned at one time that we'll be seeing a lot of old classics in one way or another. I personally would LOVE to see the one's you mentioned and many more. And new ones too. The more modules - the better.

I'm looking forward to 3rd party adventure modules and monster books. The only "player option" stuff I anticipate buying will be from WoTC.
