Could you elaborate on this, I'm not sure I understand what you mean. For me, the only games I wouldn't play are the ones obviously not meant seriously like FATAL, RaHoWa, and such. I do prefer random character creation to set character creation though, I could just create Mega Traveller...

I'd really like to play A Song of Ice and Fire, but I don't have the players for it. What version of Traveller are y'all who mentioned it playing?

There's a creative writing challenge. Write the ecology of this thing and make it seem like it could survive in the "real" campaign world. On the other hand Flumphs are the most awesome creatures ever!

When I played / DMed at a local comic book shop / flgs there was a guy who played a copy of Drizzt in EVERY game. He was a good guy, but since I couldn't stand Drizzt we didn't game well together.

For me it's mostly ethics, morals and a bit of avoiding hypocrisy. I don't think that taking others' work without either their permission or payment is right. I just don't, I guess my parents raised me well. I'm trying to become published myself, and I know how hard it is to make anything in...

Well, my plan was to make him better at combat as he leveled it was a role-playing thing. Actually thinking about it, I could play the game without any combat and be happy. Combat takes me out of the story and I like playing to see the DMs story. I guess I'm weird.

I also miss the old thief template. I like the expert at many things, but not combat. Even in 3E, when I last played a then-termed rogue, I made him like a thief. My character had 5 strength and I purposely had him suck at fighting as part of his back story. It also took me forever to get...

I also enjoyed this game. I remember we played it a few times between Battletech battles. It was a bit schizophrenic but nothing that couldn't be fixed. The computer game was also great fun.

I'm not sure if that's the best or worst image I've had in my head. To keep with the topic, I doubt that anyone involved with the new FR hated the setting. I'm thinking that design principles and former canon clashed, and when that happens the new design generally wins. I don't much like...

Striker - I currently play a Tiefling Warlock, but I don't like the Warlock powers that much. I refuse to play a Ranger, since I still think of a Ranger as a woodsman which has been gone since late 2E. I might try a Sorceror, don't know which race I'd use. Defender - I'd probably a Dwarf...

I'm not a huge fan of 4E, or even 3e for that matter but I'll give me ideas here anyhow. 1) I admit I don't like all the powers. I used to mostly DM and when I wanted to play I'd play a fighter since he just had to move and hit. Playing the new edition, there is no truly simple class. I...

Ah, thanks for the information. I was lost there for a bit.

Could someone explain what this HIVE that keeps being mentioned is?

To add some lightening to this depressing thread (to me at least) I'm going to assume that catching him involved beautiful ladies on tropical beaches and dead drops in third world slums. And I bet Joe Don Baker was involved somehow...

A wizard did it.

Ah, the Mapmaker! I loved to do that while playing, I still remember I had a remarkably accurate map of the first level of the Temple of Elemental Evil with little notes about what we thought were behind doors we had not opened yet. Now I've got a tear in my eye, let me move my bi-focals. ;)

Paizo means more to me as a company than Wizards does now. They drew me back to Dragon and Dungeon with their beautiful Greyhawk poster maps. They talked the language I did and I've been a subscriber to most of their lines since my beloved magazines were drawn to the digital ether. Even...

Me too. There are a couple more of them, but those ads where it for me. After that and finally finding where they were sold I was hooked.

Wow. This is the same problem I see with those cakes from The Ace of Cakes; I'd never want to cut it or blemish it. I'd feel awful eating the cake, but I'd love something like it for my birthday. My 40th is only a few years away. :)

This seems a really cool way for us to get to know each other here at ENWorld. Art- I love art of all types and styles. Paintings, sculptures, architecture; I love it all. One of my favorite pieces is the bust of Philip the Arab. It's a great example of the late Roman realism, but it shows...
