Could someone refresh my memory? What is the "official" Imperium stance towards robots? I've been thinking about this lately, but all of my Traveller stuff is packed away awaiting my library renovation.

It's become a joke in my group. If anyone needs to roll a one I just need to announce I'm about to use a daily.

Actually years of gambling have taught me how to read the people I play with well, and I'm starting to get the hang of when to use which type of power. Plus I've actually only hit once with my Daily in about 100 uses lol. It still seems like each class has so much connected to it, and I don't...

I'd probably be more excited for 4E if I was younger and knew I had seemingly limitless time to play around with the different character classes and such. As it is now, I feel overwhelmed both by the amount of classes and the number of powers each class has. I miss the old fighter where I...

You're an awesome friend! The thing with those maps is that Greyhawk had been through a long, ignoble phase and seeing those just brought it back.

I'm the weird man out here. I play 4E, but only buy Paizo products. Not sure I'll ever run them, but they fulfill my thirst for well-written adventures and campaign background. Paizo brought me back into the fold when they released the four Greyhawk poster maps. That act of gracious beauty...

I personally really liked the mirror image of Chromatic and Metallic Dragons. Since I'm just a player of 4E and will likely never be a DM I don't care what they do to the dragons. I'll always have my homebrew.

I was a Dragon / Dungeon subscriber who morphed into Pathfinder and has also added the Pathfinder Companion and Chronicles subscriptions. I don't actually run the APs and don't plan to, but the extra Golarion info is worth the price. I did subscribe to DDI but unless I'm making a character I...

That is an unfortunate name.

Weren't those mostly gone by 3rd edition? I don't think I've noticed it in the 4E MM, so I believe they are finally gone.

Those are some great points. When I run a game I like to have an individual prequel session with each player to set up how they got to the campaign start. This allows them to set up their character and sometimes set up their own goals that I can work into the campaign. I also love the idea of...

Any setting that has the migration patterns of its various groups gets my vote, and thus Greyhawk will always be close to my heart. I agree with the Eberron thoughts. I like the setting but it feels too modern. I don't want modern, I want pulpy. As for dull settings, I don't have any of...

OK, so it was a change in plans. Good to see I'm not going crazy. I have a subscription to this but haven't logged in in over 2 months because of a misunderstanding. :( edit to add: I don't mean this to sound so negative since I found the Compendium quite useful when making a new character...

I've skimmed Open Grave but maybe I'll take a closer look. I'll admit I like some of the stuff in MotP but then I've already bought that. :) I am waiting for the next Draconomicon but I don't like that the Metallics aren't good any longer. I like alignment and symmetry, I'm a strange duck...

Oh, I'm already a fan of both. It's just that I can't do things as I used to do them. I used to pour over the books looking for interesting tid-bits I could use but now all the powers and bare rules just overwhelm me. I never look at my books unless I'm at the gaming table. And the fluff...

Am I missing something? I subscribed to the DDI because I thought that we'd have access to all of the books through it, but it seems that is wrong. There doesn't seem to be anything but rules and such, no fluff. Am I missing something or did I use old information in subscribing?

People don't seem to like random much anymore. I love it. I still prefer rolling for a character and figuring out how to make the scores work then making a character and setting the scores such. It's a problem I see more now, all characters have the same scores, just in different attributes...

You may not have done adventures in these places, but others have at least I have. Personally I prefer the Great Wheel because I like the idea of alignment being real in the cosmos and I like symmetry. I haven't done anything that really goes out into the planes lately so I don't know what...

My brain refuses to believe that. It might be the truth, but I'm sticking with my interpretation.

My personal list is: 1) Other people like miniatures and I have to live and let live. It looks like the way the game is going for good. 2) My Dailies will never, ever hit so pick something with good miss results. 3) If I don't actually read the books and just play the game I can handle...
