<Begin Rant> I am really not trying to be an ass here but I think this thread has (in some cases) slipped away from the original post and the original question. We have begun to discuss and comment on whether or not the previous editions were balanced. This is not relevant to the forum we are...

For some crunching numbers is part of the fun.

I agree completely with this --- if the DM can fix it then it is broken. I am not interested in buying broken games (I have plenty of those that I have fixed -- don't need another one).

Min/maxing and good roleplaying are not mutually exclusive concepts -- you can put together a well built character and still be a roleplayer. I think it is important to remember that everyone has different styles and likes.

While the all-powerful wizard etc. can make for a great story it does not necessarily make for a great game.

I am currently running two 4E campaigns and I plan to run both of them right up to the 30th level conclusion. The first campaign is a Zeitgeist campaign and the players are having a blast but there is a long way to go. (A very conservative estimate is a couple of years as this is a bi-weekly...

Not sure where you are coming from on this as I played Cryptic's Star Trek and it was horrible (I am a huge Star Trek fan and I really wanted it to be be good but it just wasn't) - space combat was boring and repeptitive and the surface stuff was much, much worse. TOR, on the other hand, is...

Nice....Please tell me there will be also be DayGlo paints involved ..... On a more serious note I have seen a afair bit of your work and both enjoyed it and found it useful in my gmaes. I am looking forward to seeign what comes of this.

The Amber books are fantastic -- Although I remember enjoying the original series more than the second series. Pretty much anything by Zelazny is worth the read.

yup pretty cool......thanks

Merry Christmas and thanks to everyone for the hours and hours of entertainment. Enworld remains a truely enjoyable and friendly community -- not something that is easy to find. Also I would specifically like to thank everyone involved in Zeitgeist --- it alone is well worth the Silver...

I am not disputing your claims but I would be very interested in your sourcesf or this. While I must admit that there were a couple of things that I did not like about the Lord of the Rings Trilogy (specifically the Gimli as comic relief aspect) all in all it was quite well done. As far as I...

There are several attributes that a peasant could use to his or her advantage, mny of which have been mentioned already. A couple of things that haven't been mentioned yet though are a peasants sure knowledge of where they fit into the world (I suppose this might be diplomacy -- so I guess this...

Pretty much what I was about to say, except Deset Gled had studies and I was just going to cite personal experience. I live in Alberta, Canada and we have just recently had distracted driver laws put into place -- it does not include hands free devices though although I can personally attest...

And another movie goes on my Christmas break watch list......it has been far too long since I last watched it.

I am sure most of us have heard of the HEAD OF VECNA (for those who haven't the Wiki entry is as follows: The Head of Vecna was a hoax that one adventuring party played on another in a campaign run by game master Mark Steuer. One of the groups tricked the other into going on a quest for the...

It is because we Canadians are especially helpful -- you get an extra big aided skill roll just by being in our sphere of influence. (+6 if there is snow involved)

Absolutely true --- unless you are good friends it should be Robert (or at the very least Mr. Bob)

I would echo what a few people here have said -- Dark Sun is about as gritty as it gets if you want to stick with 4th Edition (at least without a lot of house rules) As far as a something a bit different you might want to hae a look at Mike Mearls "Iron Heroes". This is a system that has...

Welcome, you have picked a very welcoming and friendly place to hang out. There is lots to do and lots to see. If you haven't already done so I would encourage you to sign up for either a bronze or silver membership to take full advantage of what is here. As far as I am concerned it is more...
