    4E Combat isn't like WoW, it's like Street Fighter.

    This can only be a good thing IMO. MMOs are a natural feeder for RPGs as most of them are fantasy based and have RPG mechanics. WotC's strategy in this regard is good for the hobby as a whole. MMOs are not RPGs. They use RPG mechanics for the most part but an RPG is a game where you ...

    D&D 4E 4E Player’s Handbook II

    Do I sense some anti-dwarf discrimination here? What exactly is wrong with a nice soft downy layer of chest hair on a lovely dwarven lass?

    JollyDoc's Savage Tide-Updated 10/8!

    Certainly in terms of backstory and character development, there's much more to Mandi than Anwar, but Anwar had "Teh Funny", and I found him very entertaining. Mandi's scheming just feels, I don't know, nastier somehow. Having said that, she does not see to have done much in the way of...

    JollyDoc's Savage Tide-Updated 10/8!

    I can't say I'm keen on Mandi, Anwar however was stylishly evil and quite amusing. Mandi is just a bit, well, annoying (sorry!).

    Your Game: Roleplay Heavy, or Combat Heavy

    Personally I like both. A good dust up and heroic battle is great, but I like there to be some sense behind it, and I love building personalities. So, 70% role play and 70% combat does it for me. :D

    Freeport in Everquest????????

    Freeport has been in EQ since commercial release, and has little to do with Green Ronin's Freeport, apart from the fact that they are, well, ports. Green Ronin were not the first people to name a place Freeport. :) Maybe we should take a look at the history of http://www.freeportusa.com/ ?

    How did D&D survive its early years?

    I think it's testimony to the brilliance of the idea of the game that it became so popular and people played it despite the massive flaws in the rules system. We played BD&D for a very short period before moving to another game (namely Runequest - just as deadly in some was!).

    Hrm. Well, I remember having some good conversations with Brax about this kind of stuff, but I can see the point of not discussing religion on the boards. I'll sign up and take a peek when I have a spare email account!
