Wait wait wait wait.... Are you telling me.... <chuckle> ....that you ACTUALLY roll out all the attacks when you have two monsters fight each other while the PCs observe? Do your players fall asleep or just talk about movies and who got laid recently? Hell, I don't even roll our the attacks...

I'm a lemming because the new edition is solving most of the problems I had independently come to hate in 3.5? Either way, if I play 4E or not, I'm quitting 3.5, and I haven't bought a 3.5 book in two years. Lemming answer polls even when their true feelings aren't expressed. Independent...

You have conventiently not included any answers that are positive about 4E - the most positive answer is: "I was going to go to the new edition no matter what" - which including the "no matter what" statement is really a loaded answer, like I'm gonna hurl myself under a bus. Try including an...

I'd probably quit tabletop gaming and move over entirely to MMOs. I'm so excited about 4E that I have already lost interest in 3E. If 4E comes out a dud, I just don't think I can ever go back to 3E either.

It's human nature for some to fear change - without them the balance would be off, and we'd be flooded by the happy-go-lucky optimists who think anything new is better. I for one plan to implement a conversion to 4E because, from a DM's perspective, I will have much more time to devote to...

Love minions...love them. Love. Minions. I can just hear Gimli and Legolass now: 17.....18....19...20....21.....

I use Reapermini figurines that I painted myself for all the PCs and special monsters, and I use the WoTC painted plastic figures for normal monsters, and I use old beat up unpainted Ral Partha figures for minions.

I'll worry about my players hitting level 30 in a few years. Not at all worried about it now.

1) Non-spellcaster's entire round being relegated to dice rolls with no substance. 2) Spellcaster's magic system being non-intuitive and a monster unto itself. 3) Creating unique new monsters from your imagination took far too long from conception to completion. 4) Skill system created a...

My group has been playing in epic levels since last year this time, and the adventure I've been crafting requires a fricken insane amount of time to create. I have long been making monsters and villains with the exceptions based design that 4E is using. I just don't bother with Hit Dice, Base...

My players already know that my Forgotten Realms campaign will not allow Eladrin, Tiefling, or Dragonborn. I want to stick to Humans, Halflings, Dwarves, Half-Elves, and Elves until I can personally introduce each of the new races into the game with the correct flavor and social structures. In...

Fears: 1) My players are notoriously bad at reading their spells and implementing them correctly. I'm afraid that with each player having many abilities, that some will be miss-played and I won't catch the error until we've been playing improperly for a year - this is the one place I see where...

Some do damage, some might trap you (nets, pits), others might hinder you (quicksand, caltrops).

I hope you don't need this much hand holding for all your purchases of under $100. Someone please tell me if I should buy the Lord of the Rings box sets. Someone, please tell me if I should buy 4 pizzas. Someone, please tell me if I should go out to the club on Friday night! Jesus man, it's...

Call yourself whatever you want if you play a Warlord? In my games, people never introduce their characters while RPing as "Bill the Fighter", it's always "William the Defender", or "Kurgen the Arcanist" instead of "Kurgen the Wizard". If you wanna call yourself a Warlord, do it, if not use...

Sometimes I think the 3rd party publishers just plant posts on forums for their own ends. Yet again, it's the third party argument, yet I have never seen anyone who loves third party materials (and I know many gamers) aside from these doomsday posts and 4E naysayers. I will never buy a 3rd...

I won't touch 3rd party books anyway, so I don't care. I write my own adventures and I hate non-core splat garbage that that vast majority of 3rd party supplements offer.

Again, there is a difference between liking what you know about 4E, and hating what you don't know about 4E.

Of all your bullets points of what D&D feels like to you, only Vancian magic has managed to transition between all three current editions (and it has been disliked by the majority of players the entire time). The legacy of D&D has been around for far longer than 3E, and it will survive well...

Of course it will.
