You are very careful to couch your language in a way that makes your point. To me, 4E doesn't feel any more "gamist" than any other edition of Dungeond and Dragons. We're both saying opposite things. Who's right?

It's cool, bro I'm not mad you're reading into what I'm saying. I literally have less than 10 posts on this board so I'm not sure you can really say what my posting habits even are. What I'm talking about here is a poster making passive-agressive edition snipes and then hiding behind...

This is a great post. How can I argue with: "If you disagree with me, YOU'RE THE ONE DOING IT!"? Anyway, there's no need to worry. I know what a subjective opinion is. I'm not arguing that your preferences are wrong (they are). I'm arguing that your reasons for having your opinions are...

While I understand the desire to have a discussion regarding the relative merits of various versions of Dungeons and Dragons (or whatever), I think there's a very, very thin line between "criticisms levied in edition wars" and "edition war posts". Here's an example from the thread posted in...

10 is average, isn't it? I'm not sure I would call average (quasi-medieval) strength "Pee-Wee Herman". And if you don't want your non str paladin to be weak (the only place this is going to come up is in Athletics or Str attribute checks), then don't. You don't have to have all your NADS be...

You may have heard this before but I'm going to say this because it just might blow your mind. In real life, strength has very little to do with being able to hit people with your sword. That has more to do with training than anything else. I would say that using your highest ability as a "to...

I have an annual sub and will continue it so long as I'm playing.

There are decent summons even at level 1. You just won't get a lot of them. Flaming Sphere is fantastic if you are willing to reflavor.

Summoners are great at paragon and beyond. At heroic they're not really underpowered but you have to be willing to take some dailies that aren't summons (actually grasp of the grave is quite fitting I guess). Now the encounter powers are kind of weak but none of them create permanent creatures...

I'll second my support for HS1. It's a great module in that it offers a lot to explore and it's not too linear. If I ran it again, however, I would make more changes to the backstory as some of it doesn't really make a whole lot of sense once you think about it.
