    Wilderlands Of High Fantasy

    If I was playing 4e the Wilderlands would be my setting of choice. (Heck, it's still in my top three settings of choice for 3e.) It requires the least amount of revision to make it work according to what I've seen of 4e so far. Personally, if the Wilderlands was chosen as the official 4e setting...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Anyone lose their enthusiasm with 3E or purchasing 3E products?

    I just ordered the Rules Compendium. I've purchased more than three dozen third party 3e books in the past three months. There are still a handful of 3e books I'd like to have when all is said and done. I have no intentions of purchasing 4e products in 2008.

    The Core Pantheon (What we know so far...) Update 3

    Sounds far more like The Morrigan to me.

    Dungeons, Dragons, and Demographics

    I'm 31 and although I technically started with the Rules Cyclopedia, virtually everything else that shaped my game was 2e, so that's what I chose. I'm negatively inclined towards 4e based on the information available and have no intentions of purchasing any 4e products in 2008.

    D&D 4E What Campaign Settings would you like to see for 4e?

    A campaign setting based directly on the fluff in the 4e rulebook. Ideally, this campaign setting would use the "points of light" perspective, while other traditional settings would not. I can't warm to the idea of an edition (and thus all of the settings based on that edition) having a certain...

    Duergar: I'm shocked - a flavour change I really like!

    Same here. The Drow were fallen CE elves who dabbled with demons; Duergar were fallen LE dwarves who dealt with devils. They're pretty much the yin to the yang of their above ground counterparts. The flaws of the respective races run amuck (Hubris for the Elves/Drow; Greed for the...

    So... is anyone else coming around?

    When the 4e announcement was made I was put off by it. Seemed just a smidge (a year or so) too early for my liking. I was probably around 70/30 against at that point. The timing of the announcement being the main thing that shifted the scales for me. (That and the idea of preview books...that...

    RPG Superstar Countries: Go vote!

    That was one of my five! It reminded me of Zardoz... 'Nuff said.

    What's Captain Kirk's dump stat?

    Only a forum composed of gamers could end up turning the punchline of a joke into a four page debate. :lol:

    The Grand To-Do List

    Since the end of my Greyhawk campaign (that pretty much took up the entire 3.0/3.5e lifespan) and the purchase of so many settings during the great 3e rummage sale, I find myself with more wishes than reality can possibly allow. I'm working on a Kingdoms of Kalamar campaign (set in Reanaaria...

    Your accumulated 3.x list?

    I often find that the people who tell me I have too many books are the sort of people who don't even have bookshelves.

    D&D 4E I know exactly what 4e needs -- Mr. T!

    My point was that Blizzard Entertainment (World of Warcraft) can afford people like Mr. T and Shatner to hawk their wares because of the monthly fees, while ArenaNet (Guild Wars) may not have the income necessary to do so. Context, as always, is important.

    Forgotten Realms - What Gods and Languages Does Kara-Tur Have?

    I know there's at least one person ranger on this forum who never shuts up about Kara-Tur. :D He should be able to help you.

    Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk

    As with most products you're going to hear a mixed bag of opinions on Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk. If you enjoy recent incarnations of Greyhawk (Living Greyhawk Gazetteer, Living Greyhawk Journal, Paizo's Dragon/Dungeon magazine run), then I think you will enjoy this book. It serves as...

    D&D 4E I know exactly what 4e needs -- Mr. T!

    I'm sure Shatner would be happy to be a spokesperson for Guild Wars if asked. Heck, he'd probably be the spokesman for Ultima Online if they wrote him a check. But the pay-2-play folks have all the money...from those paying-2-play folks.

    Teaching New Players

    One person. The girlfriend of a friend. She was mostly just playing to be included and was a bit overwhelmed by character creation. I doubt she'd be inclined to play again, quite frankly.

    D&D 4E I know exactly what 4e needs -- Mr. T!

    Nice! Although, isn't 4e supposed to support a "Ten Minute Workday" for DMs? :p

    D&D 4E I know exactly what 4e needs -- Mr. T!

    Colbert is the way of the future! And with the writers still on strike now would be the perfect time to get him onboard. I'm all for this idea. Seinfeld is way out of WotC's price range, I imagine. Colbert might be, too, but I have the feeling he'd be more likely to do it based on his history...

    D&D 4E My One Hope for 4E

    Yes. This is the only aspect of 4e that really intices me. If WotC delivers on this promise I will reconsider purchasing 4e in a year or two. While making my life as a DM easier is an important factor for me, I intend to wait for solid feedback and a variety of supplemental material before I...
