I'm about to kick off a 3e campaign, and just started playing in one too. So I'm grabbing some good deals from Amazon and Noble Knight Games. Picking up various new and unused 3e hardbacks for under $7.... well it keeps me in a surplus of gaming material and my wife happy. :p

Heh... I think this shows what monster types the developers need to concentrate on. Mike Mearls = Slime Maker (all hail the slimes) Rich Baker = Rib Hacker (goblinoids) Chris Perkins = Shin Prickers (the shorties) Chris Thomasson = Harmonics Hosts, Masochist Horns (angles and devils)

Almost exactly as the good Brother said, though I include something about increasing the number of non-combat spells available.

Five of the six people in my group for starters. Though if they present a pure vancian caster option in either the PHB or DMG we'd probly switch too - if they delay it for the second PHB or DMG or later we'll have already said our goodbyes and switched systems.

Nice article and overview of the coming changes to the Realms.... But it definitely reinforces my impression that the 4e Realms do not appear to be for me. I'll just stick with my 1e, 2e, and 3e Realms (sans the Time of Troubles of course).

Oh I know - I was just ranting about the same deities that were involved in the last edition change are the same ones that are involved this time around. The soap opera of the gods in GHotR makes me either want to puke or yawn - basically I think this is where I hop off the 3e FR express and...

Couldn't they find something original to do this time? Why the hell is it always Mystryl/Mystra that bites the dust? Why is Helm involved again in an edition change? Why couldn't Lathander be the one responsible this time around - maybe something similar to when he invoked the Dawn...

In the unlikely event that we actually do migrate to 4e - Dragonborn are definately on the list to get hit with the banstick, they'll get replaced by the Muls from Darksun (after all if we have half-elves and half-orcs, why not half-dwarves too). Oh, and the <bleeping> planetouched (aasimar...

Write first, then present the character in stats at multiple levels would be my choice. Like how WotC presented the 5/10/15 character builds for Fight Club (or whatever that article series is called).

What Drowbane said... And Wikipedia says too ;) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuxia IME Whenever it is mentioned in a negative way, someone is usually trying to describe one of the above.

Not saying they are - but the mollycodling can extend to far. I wholeheartedly agree with protecting children from exploitation and abuse.

Not to be snide - but when schools ban teachers from using red ink because its "stressful", DIY Chemistry Sets are neutered or outlawed, and model rockets require background and licensing checks... children are being molylcoddled in the wrong way.

Exactly

We still play our 1e/2e/Basic campaign once a month [sometimes even twice, if our SR4/FRCS 3.0 hybrid game gets cancelled] with no end in sight. 12 Years... 5 Players... 20 Characters (that are still alive at least)... 4 Different Parties... The characters in our highest party are just now...

It might not prevent it, but it minimalizes it. Which is the reason I said that having my house completely wired for video and sound makes me safer - notice I didn't say completely safe? [Qoute]And based on what I've lived through and witnessed, I find that making blanket judgements does...
