I can't help but agree with this. While I do see some advantages to digital versions of the magazines such as the 'playtest' of the Artificer class, or that changes can be easily made if mistakes are found, I really wish that when they released the final compiled version that they would offer a...

I'd chime in to reccomend Reaper as well. I stopped collecting D&D miniatures after getting fed up on never having quite as many as I needed. With 4e, I can only see this getting worse. Fighting larger groups of creatures means buying more miniatures. I'm sure there is some conspiracy theory...

I admit that its an intriguing idea. I know I'd be interested as I'm one of those rare weirdos that loves parts of both systems and would still use either. I can't recall specifically, but I seem to remember something about not being able to have the same line of products under the two...

I've only met a couple gamers in non-gamer settings. One was waaaay back in the old 2e days, when a FLGS called 'Adventurer Supply' was still around. They gave out these coupons for $1 off per every $10 spent (Man do I miss that store). I had dropped one coupon and a passenger on the bus...

The biggest problems for myself (and to a lesser extent, my group): - Spell Lists for NPC's: I could rarely use anything other than sorcerers or the Dragonlance equivalent for clerics (I forget the class name) for enemies simply because pouring over a laundry list of spells for an enemy that...

I'm VERY intrigued. I remember seeing adverts in Dragon Magazine back when Earthdawn was first published and I remember immediately wishing I could find a copy of it. We didn't have any full time Game-Stores in the immediate area that I knew about, so I had to try and scour the back shelves of...

I admit it, I LoL'd ;) Good thing you weren't a minion though.

Looking for scientific or psychological evidence here is far, far beyond the scope of these boards. The thread would close if anyone required data or a degree in psychology or any of the major sciences. Seeing as I'm being handwaved to the 'irrelevant' category is rather insulting I find. But...

Timesink or not, please note that I have posted the effects on my own creativity before, during, and after. They were *real* effects on my imagination no matter what the driving force in the game may have been, time waster or not. This is something that cannot be argued with me I'm afraid. It...

Actually, that's a matter of perspective. His arguments actually DO coincide with my experiences. I've read his posts and don't find the language insulting. I do notice that a lot of people are jumping to conclusions. I'll note something that Ruin Explorer noted himself. It might take a LOT...

I'll weigh in here with my personal experience. Now, keep in mind, this is just what both myself and a friend had noticed after roughly 2 or more years of playing warcraft. We weren't quite hard-core, but we definitely played the living daylights out of the game compared to any other activity...

/agree.

I have to admit that while I don't mind lively discussions on the difference between editions, I honestly hope it doesn't devolve into the D&D version of 'Kirk vs. Picard' uselessness. Then again, I tend to vent on my own private/semi-private channels now, which is fantastically cathartic. For...

I'll try to keep this to a short-ish list, since its way too late for me to still be tapping away at the laptop. Classes: -Druid: Every player in my campaign as well as myself wanted to play a druid in one of the upcoming campaigns. I've always loved the class though admit I used the...

Admittedly, I concede to your point here (to a point.. I need to stop using the word point). There are a few reasons why general rpg chat has become swarmed with 4e posts lately. The largest one probably due to it being 'the new thing'. People want to talk about the new or debate and all of...

Very good read! I have to admit I agree with a great deal of it, though I found the art to be pretty exceptional. Though art is one of those entirely subjective things. I hadn't really thought about how the big fights and higher levels will go. I don't know why but I'm thinking of...

Heh, this might sound odd.. Dragons. I've never had a group fight a dragon. They've talked to two I think, but never actively engaged one in combat. I'm hoping to change that soon. Part of it was too much flipping around and starting campaigns over. So far its been a solid 6 sessions and...

Its amazing what even THIS post can incite in terms of veiled jabs. I have to admit I'm getting tired of BOTH sides little pokes and jabs in veritably EVERY cursed thing I've been reading on the boards lately. Especially when they utterly derail interesting threads let alone the ones that...

I haven't bought any since.. Giants I believe. I won't buy any again for various reasons.

My only suggestion would be to give him an overview of what your game will be featuring. Let him know you are willing to listen to his concerns if he has any, but note to him any points you have set in stone (Such as the ruleset you are using, and races for example). You can let him know that...
