    Why are they keeping ability scores?

    What's so wrong with tradition? Or to take it a step further, with 4e throwing out or greatly modifying many long held DnD traditions (Vancian magic anyone) I can see why WoTC might want to keep the 3-through-18 ability spread to keep at least some of the more visible trappings of the DnD...

    lorraine williams

    I have no hate for Ms. Williams... but I do have a healthy dose of dislike for her. I remember the cease and desist period of TSR quite well thank you very much. I remember buying Mythus at the one and only GenCon I attended... I followed the death of the game fairly closely. I remember...

    Why I Intend to Purchase the 4th Edition Books

    Qualify and Quantify - that is the mantra for the 3rd edition. In some ways you took the player out of the game by finding a value for every skill and feat and option under the sun... the dice ruled and the player was along for the ride... or the math. Then again, in basic and first...

    Who is this person, and why do they not know what a gish is?

    the main forum page has this at the top of the forum menu (edit - even the top of this page... i just never realized): EN World - Morrus' D&D / 4th Edition / d20 News course, to tell the truth, i don't think I've ever consciously bothered to look for that before... and I doubt many others have...

    Who is this person, and why do they not know what a gish is?

    The last thing you could ever call the average New Yorker is "classy"... I'm sure you've seen how we are portrayed in movies and cop shows... message received tho ;)

    Who is this person, and why do they not know what a gish is?

    This hasn't been Eric Noah's website for a number of years... at least longer then the term "gish" has apparently made inroads in ENWorld forum postings. While Eric is still a frequent poster on this boards, Morrus is the man behind the boards these days. He does a fine job despite being...

    D&D 4E 4e . . . the RIFTSization of D&D!!!

    What I wouldn't give for a d20/OGL edition of RIFTS... with luck it might even be playable :)

    D&D 4E 4e . . . the RIFTSization of D&D!!!

    I love when original thread starters orphan their threads when they go in the opposite direction then they originally had planned ;) oh, btw... i think both RIFTS and 4e have a Strength stat... 4e still lacks vibro weapons tho :p

    D&D 4E 4e . . . the RIFTSization of D&D!!!

    I am assuming this was a humor thread... yes? Cause 4e looks to be as close to RIFTS as 3e was... course, my last RIFTS character was a Crazy so what do I know? heh

    "Why can't you stop picking on 4th edition?!"

    I would consider this pot sufficiently stirred at the moment. Give it a few more posts and this thread will surely boil over ;)

    "Why can't you stop picking on 4th edition?!"

    'Cause "keyboard muscles" are bigger then even "beer muscles" ;)

    "Why can't you stop picking on 4th edition?!"

    Why is it that people posting on message boards get so upset that people may dare to have opinions that differ from theirs? Both sides of the issue have posters that act in ways that they would never consider in face to face interactions.

    D&D 4E 4E's aggressive pace: Too much, too fast?

    Alot less money then if they didn't publish anything for 6 months or longer. An imperfect 4e will still sell well whereas having no products on the shelves will sell nothing. WotC has to answer to a high power (and i'm not referring to hebrew national franks ;) ... I'm referring to Hasbro and...

    Flavor Change: "The Rouse"

    Is Rouse-aroni still the San Fransico treat? Will this be a Rouse-ing success? Is this a new 4e feat: A Rouse-ing Kick to the Nether Regions or will it just be called a Rouse-House Kick? Damn but The Rouse is on Fire! (k', i'm all punned out... I need to go Rouse the kid and make sure his...

    WotC_PeterS talks about his "aggresive playtest" (with Le Rouse, SKR, & Noonan)

    Is D&D the only game that radically changes each edition?

    I'm also fairly sure any reference to EGG was removed from AD&D 2e PHB, DMG and MM... course my books are all boxed up so I cant be totally sure.

    Is D&D the only game that radically changes each edition?

    That is one game that could severely use a re-write ;) I still have my signed first printing from GenCon from oh so many years ago. Kevin... let somebody cut the bloated carcass to something usable please :)

    Is D&D the only game that radically changes each edition?

    1 - You, me, my son... to say the game is going to fail because you won't be buying it is a drop of water in a nice sized pond... as an individual you won't be missed. 2 - People refusing to buy 4e because they are waiting for 4.5e? First time I've heard this one 3 - I'd agree the market is...
