Wow, where I come from my fellow DM's would laugh at DM's who couldn't handle their PC's using scry in 3rd edition. But then as a DM I'm of the mindset that most of what was considered 'broken' in 3e wasn't actually. Scying, for instance, was easy to notice and easy to counter. It was also a...

It's an epic level ritual wherein to do something that you could do at comparatively low levels in 3e you have to spend 31000gp and even then you could only observe someone for up to 30 seconds. That seems quite the opposite of reasonable to me unless I misread something about it. Toss in the...

That's true. Though it depends on the type of conversion you're looking for. A lot of the core classes were given a power creep to balance more with the supplement classes there for some of the supplement classes would be fairly easy to convert. As for monsters and NPC's they have advice for...

Hmmm, I think I'll help with the pseudo-resurrection of this thread. :) I've gone back and fourth over the whole 4e thing for awhile now. I'm actually glad I didn't stumble onto this thread until now as my opinion has jumped from hate it, to can't hardly wait, to hate it to skeptic yet...

True. For this I am thankful. I think a little tweaking and in-game play-testing and I'll have a system that works for my players and myself. Will I get around to it? Possibly. 4e is going to take the stage as my casual game session game, for those days when I'm lazy and don't have a lot of prep...

Honestly, I kind of like the knee pads quote. Only because as someone who has been skeptical yet hopeful about 4e I've perused threads around here wherein someone gives an honest question about a perceived flaw to the new edition and are suddenly set upon like bloody meat in a shark tank by...

My opinion is that WotC was running out of time and didn't know what to do with non-combat related magic. Sacrificing an orphanage to the dark lords of the Nine and making certain agreements (why do you think Asmodeus is actually a deity now, huh? He's been after that since 1st ed) they were...

After a considerable hiatus. My apologies to my audience, the few I have anyway. Things have been... hectic. While I thrive in chaos I do tend to end up a little lax on things like writing up my stories. But I shall continue, particularly from whence I left off. So there was a fight, I had...

After a considerable hiatus. (edit)

Easier Said than Done pt. 2 And I bet you thought I abandoned you. Well there we, about to ride off the pier and some thug telling us we'd be dead the moment we left. Ones brain could fall apart trying to contemplate all the possibilities. I didn't see anyone as I looked around the rooftops...

I'm afraid it's not. Still, I hope people enjoy. The game itself isn't assassin themed I'll admit but it should be interesting.

Easier Said Than Done "Jorun!" Farah spat breathlessly, I almost didn't hear her. "The scroll, it's..." she cut off and turned away wincing in a manner that made me want to weep inside, when a magic user reacted like that it meant bad things. Everything went into slow motion as things tend to...

Alright, To put it simply it's been awhile since I've done this, hell, it's been awhile since I've written anything really. Still, I got inspired, I joined a play-by-post game over at www.rpol.net and thought it would be just another game. The system was Castles and Crusades and I had...

Nice to see at least one element of 13 Kingdoms is still going strong. A pity the rest didn't quite work out so much...

The mentality of: oh-my-god-it's-useful-in-combat-therefor-it-must-be-broken-let's-castrate-it! That seems to have plagued wizards. I'm a frickin' DM and I didn't find Spell Focus to be too powerful with a +2 bonus, heck, give it a few levels and anything with spell resistance is either already...

Well, I don't care much for it but my group will likely stick with 3E until we're sure Wizards won't spring another .5 revisement on us and sap our wallets again. I, as a DM, much prefer a campaign starting with PC's a bit wet behind the ears however I've started games with them at 5th level as...

Wow, what do your players use for stat building? 3d6 or the point buy system with 16 points? I just have a hard time imagining 4 1st level players up against 4 1st level goblins in 3rd edition and it coming out with the players on bottom... unless they get caught by surprise and out of armor or...

Lol, I think I've been miss-understood: I want opinions on his reasoning. The half dragon bit I'm not too concerned about, in fact I think it would help with the story of the campaign, what I'm looking for is peoples opinions on that reasoning behind that.

My concern for Greyhawk is almost nil, however I respect the fact that others enjoy it and it did give me one real bit of fun (Ruins of Castle Greyhawk and random monster generator anyone?) that I'll always remember fondly. So I hope it goes to a good home (I personally think Ravenloft went to...

Heh, well, that's a bit of a wait and honestly, I refuse to purchase anything 4e until I'm positive they aren't going to pull the B.S. they did with 3rd ed and suck our wallets dry by creating a revised edition. Hell, in my not-so-humble opinion it's too damn soon for 4th ed. anyway. The only...
