*Credit Card Warming Up*

I think, btw, that Gary once said that he allowed women to play fighting-men on occassion. But don´t quote me on it.

I always had my PHB lying beside my computer during sessions... because i would need to reference it, now and then, would i? Since DDI, i think i never opened one of the books during a sessions, and i only open a book between sessions in order to inspire myself. That´s why books who talk about...

I only game with people about whose nature you know nothing until Shroedinger opens the box. Lots of pros: - Pizza crumbs stay inside the box. - Constant whining about unbalanced combats gets lost through the walls of the box. - Best of all: i can participate in 'Weal or Woe' - threads for...

Why not? Then as soon as you complain about the balance in 4e and cite an adventure to support your position, people can say stuff like "you changed the rules without being as experienced as Mike Mearls!" That would be like that mirror universe from Star Trek: people arguing that the 4e white...

Everybody hates drow. Even drow. And any book that references DMG2 a lot gets a thumbs up from me - that book was awesome.

I don´t know. That would mean whe have to condense what we learned from this thread by saying "AD&D wasn´t designed with game balance in mind, but with elitism"

It´s an entirely new system, designed just for LOR. See the respective RPG.net thread where the publisher answers questions. And its going to be LOR + Hobbit - no other stuff. The current licenses are based on deals JRRT made himself back in the day. The chance that, forex, the Silmarillion can...

And yet, becoming a fire elemental for 10 minutes per level is still a tad better than eating 10 damage. Shapechange is no longer a gamebreaker in Pathfinder, but it´s still better what a fighter gets at high levels. By far. This is not about balance, btw, but about what kind of fantasy you...

Do the people who play this D&D you describe here, perchance, position themselves now and then on your lawn? And is there, would you say, a feeling welling up when they do this which makes you whish they would relocate themselves?

Your insight into human nature is stunning. Alas, you squandered it by using it on the thread that won the "train wreck go away" award 2009. I have a certain feeling about your post, but, because you apparently can read minds, i don´t have to tell you what it is. Happy... whatever you do.

Nope. But it will look like that because those people who like the previews will sit back at home and think "groooooovy" while those hating them will start threads titled, forex, "The Shattered Sun: thank you Wizbro, for destroying my world."

Oooh, comparing something you don´t like to :):):):) without using the word. I foresee a great post. Aahh, i expected that. "I never had that problem" = "That problem doesn´t exist." Even combined with the tried and proven "but if YOU have that problem, you can´t be a very good DM." Thank you...

Believe it or not, that is the way people play and DM 4e. Forex, me. I think what the OP said was related to FR´s development as a setting. The Grey Box was a sandbox-friendly sketch of an interesting campaign world which encouraged the DM to fill in his own details. But Greenwood was a...

If only more people saw it that way. The 4e FRCS is exactly what a modern "fill-in-your-own-numbers" FR set in the spirit of the Grey Box should have been. Of course, the map still sucks, especially compared to yours, but you can´t have everything, eh? They changed the setting to please...

You know that a lot of gamers stopped at the Grey Box, yes? And 99,9% of them don´t come into Dark Sun threads and say stuff like "how could TSR destroy, the sandboxey nature of my Campaign Setting by adding gobs of lore!!1!" I mean, perhaps they did back then. But what´s the point? And for...

I´m pretty sure we´re never going to see Birthright - every setting has it´s own sales history, and i think this is more important for Wotc than revisiting them all. Oh, and the fact that Birthright tried to be too much at once. And the Fire-and-Forget-model is for guys like me who think that...

I really wish you were right. But the illusion last only as long as i don´t browse ENworld and read any threads.

Actually i don´t hate the idea that there is a CS where everybody and their uncle have some sort of special power. I just don´t like the "here, this existing crunchy bit - which we totally didn´t design for this - let´s stick this into every character created in this world" thingy. If they...
