I have a loyalty to my group, though they aren't on the top priority level (wife+kids win that one, then job). Granted several of them are good friends (one the best man at my wedding), but some of them are there just for the game and their loyalty to the group varies based on how much they...

I will have to go back a couple years for D&D. The last time I spent my money on WotC was when PHB2 was released. I also received a few Christmas gifts around that time as well (Draconomicon, Adventurer's Vault). In the past couple of years I think I've spent $0.00 on WotC products and...

Wouldn't the water freeze there by semi-clogging the portal?

It could also be that a lot of the less skilled players left after losing interest and too much money. Thus the people your friends used to "feed upon" were gone, that created a rapid change in skill level and then it became sharks eating sharks.

I will agree. Prior to 4E's release I made some changes to 3.5's rules that I thought 3.5 could use and possibly would be done in 4E. Giving PC's 3rd level hit points at level 1 allowed for some of the stress at low levels to be bypassed but still would force the group to not get too far in over...

I got out of the online poker world when it became illegal to play, even for free (as in $0.00 of my money going there). I knew of a couple people who were still able to play using some credit card trickery but it was quetionably legal.

D&D jumped the shark when Hasbro bought them. There have been some amazing things released since that moment, but the overall trend is downhill due to pure profit-seeking. Pre-Hasbro WotC's goal of fixing the game and returning it to its loved status amongst us vs. Hasbro's WotC squeezing the...

Rust monsters for the win!

That realization towards the end of 3.5E is when I realized I was wasting money. Roughly $30 for a book where I may use one to a dozen pages. From that point on I got opinions from here, from friends, skimming the book, and asking the game store owner on how useful the book would be to me...

Bad(der) Santa Serenity Dumb and Dumber Bad Santa just because it's so "wrong". "Good night Santa. Good nigh Mrs. Santa's sister."

Big Bang Theory, House, the family of superheroes one. Time is the main reason.

Wow! This thread's still going? Every now and again I turn around and look at my copy of the WLD and think "That was fun, but never again." And then I think about how I overpowered the group's final fight, but oh well.

My sincerest condolences.

Without degrading into an edition war, please list out what about the editions of D&D did that was right (from OD&D to Essentials). Granted some people will view some of them as negative rather than a positive (vancian magic, multi-classing), but I'm just trying to compile a list for myself for...

And implies that we are all thieves. Nothing makes me want to pirate more than being called one.

A simple, and sad, "No". MMO's can hotfix easily. Tabletop games should not attempt the same thing. Expecting me and my group to spend more money because they had some goofs in design or some people found some game-breaking combos... A few dollars a month for DDI. A new book every month or...

(bump) I'd really rather not make the players run 2 PC's ;)

A long established group is being hit with the attrition that life brings. We've been around in one form or another since the 90's and we're looking for 1-2 adults who are up for playing Friday evenings in Cincinnati (Fairfield). Our requirements are that you have steady transportation, the 4E...

I've played 4E since it came out and liked it, but as time went on I've become less and less happy with it. I don't hate it. There are several improvements from 3E, but some of the other changes I'm not happy with. I feel lied to about how long it takes a combat to finish in 4E, the one thing...

I've not seen all of the classes in action, but those I've seen that stand out are the wild mage, bow ranger, two-weapon ranger, and barbarian. I've personally run a two-weapon ranger with rogue multi-classing up to level 9 and his damage potential is disgusting in the event of a nova instance...
