Rogue/barbs sneak attacking with a greatclub while raging always confused me... Not that I think the weapon limit of 4e is all that great for sneak attacks, but it just seemed thematically wrong to me, if you know what I mean... And the fact that nobody noticed epic level play was so...

One that would kick infinitely more ass... :D Of course the Malazan Books were based on a roleplay to begin with (Steven Erikson and Ian Cameron Esslemont had a GURPS game together that produced the world iirc), but a specific system would be pretty awesome... Playing a proper Malazan Sapper...

That's usually more of a birthday gift from/for friends as my family has no idea what to even look for...

We use the Paizo Megamat which is 34 by 48 I think. The edges kind of hang over the table, so we don't use the full size of it, but it's big enough for most of our encounters. We use wet-erase markers to draw the rooms and such...

Only once, actually, which was last session, where I had no inspiration for my plot and decided to run a session length solo battle against the 4e young green dragon. Ity was pretty fun actually, although I did have combine the encounter with some crazy terrain and a ritual/skill challange to...

Not necessarily. I voted for 0 beers during my game, but I do like my beer. Just really not during my D&D game, because it in general does not improve it. Going out with friends, birthday parties, movie nights, post sport match relaxation, etc. Those are excellent moment for a beer... :D

We don't drink at our games. With 7 people there it's chaotic enough as it is. When we have our occasional movie night with the d&d group though, it's alcohol and bad horror movies all the way... :p

I'm at a 2 battles per 4-5 hour session on average, sometime slower and only very rarely higher. Although I admit I did a solo fight last session that a stretched out over 4 different encounters, but then that was combined with a skill challenge and some exploration in order to be able to defeat...

I'm running a homebrew campaign based on Earthdawn, where everybody just came out of their underground safehouses and society is just starting to get rebuilt after the Horror cataclysm. I'm actually basing it also in part on the plot of the tv show Jericho, because that has a certain...

Old, fat, bearded, white guy is about 60% correct... :p Anyway, i think the poll shows very little correlation between 3e/4e preference and spellcaster/melee preference, as for all 3 of the options of classes, the relative numbers are practically the same... About the only thing we can say is...

Yes it counts. If 90% of the people are neutral on these issues, you know your poll has little significance... :p Anyway, I am largely happy with 4e and in earlier editions I usually played rogues or arcane/psychic spellcasters, preferably crossovers between the two (assassins, psychich...

Well, I reckon the paragon path abilities help. They are usually passive abilities that don't show up as raw extra damage powers, but still have an impact. Furthermore the increase in quarry/curse/sneak attack damage will have an impact on how effective the strikers are even if it doesn't show...

A level 8 solo should be a normal encounter for a level 8 party. Not a challenging one, which is what most people want/expect from a solo fight. So a few levels higher would make it more interesting. Secondly I found tactics to be important with solos. They have massive amounts of hitpoints, so...

We've started using them with 4e and on one hand they make combat more tactical and clear, but on the other hand it focuses the game more on the game side and less on the roleplay side, which is sometimes annoying... Overall I like them for 4e, but would probably not use them if we went back to...

2nd edition: First I played and only played 1 campaign in it for about a year. Biggest problems were the unbalanced splats, not very streamlined systems and rules. 3rd edition: Number crunching was my biggest gripe. Especially when you're the DM. Creating monsters and encounters was a pain...

Aside from the fact that I never liked resurrection (I ban it in pretty much all of my games), this system would make me hate it all the more. Why would I bring my character who died back to have him be crippled and die even faster the next time? I'd rather make a new character. Roleplay...

After my cleric bit the dust I just created an Eladrin spearfighter with lots of mobility based powers and training in acrobatics and athletics as well as some warlord multiclassing. She's an ex-sergeant in the army of a powerful fey creature based on a sort of Changeling faerie theme, with...

I like both, I do both, but I'm a player in more sessions than I am a DM. In our group of 8 we have 3 people who DM regularly (me included) and 1 or 2 who DM a campaign only once in a while. 4e is making me like DMíng a lot more than I used to though...

The first RP I played was actually Shadowrun. So technically D&D is my second love and Shadowrun my first. I don't actually play SR anymore these days though and we do occasionally play nWoD, so I'll name that one my second love... :)

In any 3e game this no doubt would have been answered with cleric, but I'm absolutely loving my Dragonborn Cleric of Kord and his maul. Fighting a good fight where he can, trying to instill some sense in his party members and generally being a very helpful person in combat... So I went for...
