currently my ring tone of choice!!

'Beer' is often an acquired taste, and because it tastes like a real drink i think a respect for it is gained. Horrendous alcohol culture here in the UK and its mostly down to a 'fizzy, sugary drink with 5% of random alcohol added' so it tastes like 'pop' (I guess you over the pond call it...

http://www.ukroleplayers.com/ good place to start. there are a fair numbers of gamers in B'ham....though i guess it is a pretty big city!!

nicely done 'mapping' like this helps cut out a lot of what would be repetitve and excess 'text/words' in sorting out character + plot development and so you can show it on one piece of paper, rather than having to reference back to other paragraphs etc. Gonna try and use this myself. very...

humous.....lots of humous

i thought there would be player handbooks 2,3,4,5 et al and not 'complete hamsters handbook'? john

RM has some good terms for its classes warrior-mage is fine for a fighter-wizard mountebank implies a wizard-thief to me. personally the term rogue to me implies a fighter-thief

what? couldnt think of mnay worse choices for introductory adventure for 11 year olds? 0 level goodmans games are ok choice for a 12 room dungeon u can finish in one session

Armsman i like too I also very much like the idea of a will defence, reflex defence and fortitude defence..... so to hit someone you need to overcome their ReDef with an attack roll, i wonder if that means a mindflayer has a +10 will attack that if it hits (ie is higehr than will defences)...

arcanist martial divine with 'rogues' in the martial category

No Fear can be because of not understanding something, fear of the unknown or 'unimaginable'. one assumes the knowledgeable/intelligent/wise wizard or diviner wouldnt succumb to this as easy as the higher hp fighter. Fear is also often a very annoying game effect -having to chase things down...

CC stunk NeMorens vault was very good guess we'll have to wait and see!

id say whatever 1/round short range effect a 'diviner' gets is useable as a: weak divine blast (say does d4 damage at 1st) a decent divine heal (say heals d6 dam at 1st) a strong undead burn (does d8 damage to undead at 1st) and we do away with turn altogether....

the 'diviner' im sure will get a walock type thing that once per round at will can heal d8 hp or something OR everyone gets at least fast healing 1 so by the time you have searched for secret doots, robbed bodies etc you will all be on full HP.

erm.....you guys need to play something else Im glad they are shortening monster stats and deciding each montser shoiuldnt be a playable race. heck they should have gone to 36 levels and made it 4 stages rather than three like oD&D. Novie, Hero, Epic etc I like levels I like classes whether...

sounds more and more like 'guild wars' pc game, this 4e does.

i think it would be ok for PC and monsters to play by different rules Its important to know where/why/what ba PC is made up from. I dont mind a monster manual that says : a 'Screaming NooNoo' is a 3rd level monster and has 24hp but doesnt overly explain why john

im in two minds i kinda like Vancian magic but knowing that at each encounter the party will be at more-or-less full assests will make thing so much easier to prep and prepare, and the lets sleep as we are a bit worn down even though its only 11am is probably sensible, it is also a bit naff...

I dont think it will as there will be mostly : spells with 24 hour duration OR utility spells learnt that will be sort of at will (detects, moves, and such) heavy combat that will be once per encounter (decent buffs, fireball, lightning bolt et al) a few that will be vancian like really mighty...
