    D&D 4E I bought GURPS 4e!!!! (and returned it the next day)

    What's *that* supposed to mean? Some of us think d20 Modern is a great game.

    D&D 4E I bought GURPS 4e!!!! (and returned it the next day)

    GURPS 4e is poorly bound (cheap glue job rather than thread is what I understand, but I know nothing about the mechanics of binding books). The pages fall out within days of use. People from all over the place have had their GURPS 4e books fall apart, so it's hard to say. Certainly not *all*...

    D&D has threatened my job!

    As a fellow parent, I salute you for stating things so eloquently. I suspect that the people in this thread who have said, "What's the big friggin' deal? Stupid over-protective parents!" are probably university students who have no idea what it is like to actually *be* a parent.

    D&D has threatened my job!

    Yep, that's solid advice. Ask teenage *girls* over to your house, and no one will be bothered. ;)

    D&D has threatened my job!

    I wasn't trying to imply that (although I realize that it came across that way :( ). What I *was* saying is that if a person in his 30s cannot make friends his own age and thus has to hang out with teens, then something *is* wrong. I was not, however, saying that this is the case with the...

    D&D has threatened my job!

    Because of problems like that one we're discussing in this thread. It's the world we live in. You can pontificate all you want about the way things *should* be, but that doesn't help people like the original poster. And if the only friends you can find are teenagers, there's something...

    D&D has threatened my job!

    I've been a high school teacher for 12 years. I have to tell you that for any teacher to ask high school students over to his house is both extremely unwise and, frankly, unprofessional. Playing D&D is not the issue here. A teacher entertaining minors at home is the problem.

    Am I the only 3.0 grognard left?

    Bah! The original Chainmail is the only real game! What's this "role-playing" crap, anyway? :p

    Am I the only 3.0 grognard left?

    Are there not DR rules in 3.0? And what exactly are the DR rules in 3.5? (sorry, I should know this stuff, but I'm experiencing a brain freeze.)

    What's your experience with WP/VP?

    I'm considering introducting WP/VP to my D20 Modern games to try to give firearms some actual firepower. I'm sick of mid-level D20 Modern characters laughing as they get shot at with AK-47's. What are your experiences with WP/VP, either in D20 Modern or in its default system, Star Wars? Does...

    Autofire house rules for d20 Modern??

    Hmmm...why do you consider that a mistake? Seems like a good rule to me...helps keep the autofire deadly and whatnot. What about this business of autofire ignoring armor? If a guy is buck naked and another guy is wearing full tactical body armor, and both miss their Reflex save, they both take...

    How do you feel about 3e's art style?

    I run into the same problem when I try to discuss the merits of Cheerleader Lesbian Orgy VII with my snooty art friends. Snobs. ;)

    The "iconic" characters -- time to for them to die?

    Well, not quite.,..Lidda has Mialee's name tattooed where *most* people never see it. ;) [Tries to forget that Lidda is 3' tall...or whatever the metric people call it.]

    The "iconic" characters -- time to for them to die?

    I don't totally agree with that. Some of Elmore's stuff still looks good, but a lot of it just looks horribly dated. Recently I took out my 2e Ravenloft boxed set and my wife (who hadn't seen the cover before) *laughed* when she saw the woman. I asked her, "What's so funny?" She says, "The...

    The "iconic" characters -- time to for them to die?

    [falls on the floor laughing] Man, oh man, I had forgotten how HIDEOUS the art was in 2e. Thanks for the post! Count me in with one vote for the art in 3e...especially the dragons. Check out the dragons in the 1e and 2e monster manuals...yech.

    Josh, are you familiar with the word "pedantic"? ;) :) :D

    Ah, but that's just it...they aren't English-speaking. They're American- speaking. Big difference. ;)

    Putting me out of my misery ...

    Ummm...actually, it can be spelled either way. Both "judgement" and "judgment" are correct. The first is the standard British spelling, the second American. http://www.bartleby.com/cgi-bin/texis/webinator/sitesearch?FILTER=&query=judgement
