    The New Forgotten Realms - (About) A Year Later

    Not really dm should be free to change anything in a campaign book for any reason he wants. Keeping all fluff in the campaign guide the same limits dm creativity. I hate settings that have too much fluff because it limits what the dm and players can do with it. Give me a few basics and some...

    The New Forgotten Realms - (About) A Year Later

    I dont see how people adventured in 3.5 FR. There were way too many npcs to make it worth it. Every last detail of the world was known. There was literally nothing for the dm or group to do at all. At least thats the way I felt about it. The 3.5 campaign guide spelled everything out there...

    [Folks that like 4e] What are some things from previous editions that you miss?

    I miss nothing. I hated random treasure charts as 90% of the time the item is useless for the group. "Oh gee another longsword too bad no one uses those." Nothing irks me more than getting a powerful and cool magic item that no one in the party can use. Random monster tables were just a way...

    It's Dark Sun

    I really like this idea. A mostly dead plane with points of light in it. I cannot wait for Darksun its so different than the usual dnd setting.

    Where Has All the History Gone?

    You seem to be ignoring the fact that most adventurers would not recieve such an heirloom as those were the providence of nobles. A lot of player characters come from more comon/humble backgrounds. You can have a very good character with a coherent back story without getting some special item...

    Dark Sun Novels

    I liked prism pentadad and tribe of one a lot. In fact Id say the writing in both series is better than that of R.A. Salvatores dritz books.

    A long and winding road...

    I tried a 3.5 game, but after 4e it just didnt feel right. The class imbalance was even more glaringly obvious and the lack of real abilities at low level killed any fun for me. The racial stat penalties also offended me a lot more. I just feel like 4e is a better game over all and will never...

    What is your favorite edition of D&D and why?

    4th edition. Mechanical reason balanced classes. I can finally play a fighter and not be useless half the game. Also no racial negatives means even a half orc wizard is a viable character, not the most optimal but is still viable. Story reason. Lack of alignment rules means you can have...

    WotC 4E D&D bloat (was Forked Thread: Pathfinder (PFRPG) bloat)

    The way its organized though each individual player will not need too many books. If playing in ebaron you will need the ebaron players guide, or if you want to use things from it. If playing an arcane character phb with your class, arcane power are all you need same for martial and others...

    Will the real 4E please stand up?

    I disagree with this post 4e is the funnest version of dnd yet with the best out of combat mechanics of any eddition, actual rules for gaining xp from skill usage. It is far from a minature game. If your not rping then that is your problem not the systems. Personally I will not play another...

    Clark Peterson on 4E

    Actually I dont understand it new eddition=change, if they had sold me the same tired worn out sacred cows as a new eddition I would not have bought it. I personally feel that 4e brought a breadth of fresh air to the game. As long as the game is fun to play, and gets a group of people together...

    What 3rd Party 4e Supplements Do You Want To See

    campaign settings and adventure paths, I personally think that wotc can do anything else better than 3rd parties.

    Ampersand: Graz'zt from MoP

    Flavour should be in books like the draconomicon, and campaign guides, not the core books. Personally I was really happy with the mm as it allows the dm to fit those creatures in where he wants to. And just the little info we have gives me a lot of ideas on how to use gratz if I was going to...

    Ampersand: Graz'zt from MoP

    Personally I hated the 3e cosmonology with a passion, a different plane for absolutley everything, way over detailed when it came to monsters and villians, I actually like the fluff light nature of it as it allows dms to be a lot more creative.
