a wand of fireball so important it was named at some point? :p

Double post

Here's my story real quick: I started playing D&D with 2E, at the time I was a player. I read the books over and over, I loved the monsters and the fun of playing, but I don't think I could of DM'd a game back then, for if no other reason than THAC0 destroying my brain. :p Anywho, after...

Anything I try and pitch will just be taken head on as A) An insult toward D&D and will put anyone in love with D&D on the defensive or B) will be nitpicked to death to the point where it will be hated even though the things that will be "not liked" might not even come close to the problems with...

I think this is a great post

Here's something, I feel that following D&D just because it's called D&D is stupid. There's plenty of other tabletop games that blow D&D out of the water now, and I feel that most people, when they're purchasing D&D material, are just buying the name "Dungeons and Dragons" and they don't even...

I think some of this comes from bad playing due to bad DMing. Right on the spot the DM should let a player that wants to do this, "Tell me what you want to do, and I'LL tell YOU the outcome." That's the name of the game, the fun in saying you want to do something and then finding out the...

In LA, they CAN be more powerful, but they counterbalance it with having to roll to cast spells just like you roll to swing a sword, and on top of that, there's casting times and harm will cause your spell to cease. So, sure, you could blow up half the country side but you're gonig to have to...

but bugs cease programs from working, the lack of balance doesn't halt a table-top RPG, also to some a balance isn't even a good thing. Good analogy though, and I see where you're coming from, and yes I agree if balance is something that you think is dire in order for the game to go on, then...

I like the excitement of the insane powerful caster but has to pull of his spells. It adds exctiement and unperdictability to the game. If was going to be playing 4e I'd like to see the casting times come back, along with more powerful and fun spells. remember back in the day: "Oh ^#@$! That...

How can there be balance in a game where as long as you're not breaking the rules of the world anything can go? I mean that's one aspect, for me anyway, that makes tabletoping more appealing, the ability to think outseide of the box, even if it's not just for spells. There's just to many...

I'd hate to lose the fun of trying our hardest to set up a camp in a dungeon that can't be infultrated, or with our own traps, alarms and magically locked doors. :D

Ugh, it's been killing good gaming for years, even more so for MMO's and video games. (which is funny because you need the internet to play MMO's, I guess you could just lan though for a multiparty RPG though. :p )

I heard they all just got tasers. :confused:

I think alignment should be thrown out all together, your actions should govern what your character is like not what's written on your paper.

I have to disagree! I'm all for having insanly powerful spells with a chance of something just as insanen happening for casting it, it's fun! It gives you that moment like "Uh, crap guys there's no way we can do that in time" "I have teleport..." "But you've never, been there..." "I know...but...

Big Time agree, I'd also like to add casting times to that if I may. ;)

I guess you gotta apeal to the masses. Nothing wrong with that. :D

Bah, why would I want to sit around a table pretending to play while one guy just manipulates the story so winning without death is going to be guaranteed? Might as well just sit around the table while someone reads a fantasy novel to the players and randomly roll dice. How incredibly boring...

If PC's are expected to win every time, then where the fun in winning? Might as well sit down at the table, have the GM announce "You all win!", everyone cheers and then the all go watch 12 hours of Futurama. The fun is in seeing if that one special avatar can make it through the thick and...
