I'm a 4e fanboy. What the hell are Fortune Cards? *google* Oh. Well. Hmm. No thanks.

Cool, because those outliers will probably be Uncommon or Rare in the PHB. Because "core" D&D means different things for different people. I know five people for whom D&D means tiefling warlords and dragonborn paladins. They count.

Edition neutral seems to be the thing going forward. In this case, I can only hope.

It's the book I've been waiting for since 1987. PLEASE let the first page be One Comes, Unheralded, to Zirta ps. dammit, 5e or no, my next campaign will be set in these Realms.

I've been playing since Skylab and I've only seen one gnome (sigh, "Uncle Bignose") and one halfling. Yet here they are, PHB after PHB, waiting to suck. I'm sure the little creeps will be in 5e, but that's fine---someone must like 'em.

RISUS. (but honestly, even that may be too rules heavy. Maybe diceless RISUS?) But seriously, I want: the balance and ease of 4e the [I'll eventually think of something] of 3e the depth of 2e the grittiness of 1e the simplicity of Basic. and ice cream.

Wow. Way to hate on shardminds, dude.

The 5e Assassin will probably look much more like the 4e Executioner than the base 4e Assassin class. The Executioner was created with the stated intent of being a 4e re-imagining of the 1e Assassin, after all. If that's the case, we'll see a class much like the rogue but more focused on...

The Old Grey Box remains the single best campaign setting I have ever read (and I have box full of dozens of others). So rich with possibilities and tantalizing hints, perfect for an eager DM to explore. And you can drop it into just about any game (we ran a great Fantasy Hero game using it...

Slow down there, son. Enthusiastic about <> Buying. I'll need to hear a lot more---not to mention the playtest---before I commit to a purchase.

It's weird seeing people who play pretend-elf assign degrees of masculinity to such a twee endeavor.

I believe the metaphor he used was: the wizard is jealous of the fighter most of the combat, the fighter is really jealous of the wizard once. Old-school but workable if applied through all levels of play (which the old school wasn't able to).

I agree, but the scenario he described was that over the course of an encounter combat, the fighter is [bad-ass] every round, the wizard is a [bad-ass] x 3 once or twice. Works in theory.

Ahhhhh. That almost makes sense. Thanks!

Vancian magic with built-in limits to prevent spellcasters from dominating high-level play. Happy.

Which only makes sense. I'd like to see more 'evergreen' products (especially since I'm starting to get a lame-duck feeling about my 4e game)

What the heck is English? /Common

Game reports imply that hit points have been scaled back. Monte wants a wizard to be able to do damage in a single round equivalent to nearly a combat's worth of fighter attacks. I think fireball may be scary again.

But most setting don't take place in post-19th century Earth. ;)

But (and I am really curious about this), isn't that what house rules are for? I mean, DMs have been restricting things since dice were colored in with crayons.
