    Misconceptions about 3.5...Answers

    Hence the "theoretically". We don't know what they're going to do in the future. If they assume PHB2 is core and draw on said material without reprinting what is needed, it'll be a problem. I don't know whether they'll do that or not, but my point was simply that 3e had a stated policy of...

    Age of Conan. Anyone played it?

    Players get 1 key to use for a buddy, gives a week of time. You need to use the buddies install discs though. If you don't, they charge you $3 for the download, but add on another 3 days for a total of ten. So, this I did. I played for two days, then they locked my account because they think my...

    Open letter from Watchmen producer

    I can't see how ethically Fox is in the wrong. If they notified WB over and over about the rights and WB gave them the brush off rather than pay for the rights they're using, then WB was in the wrong. They could have gotten out of it cheap when the project started and now are banking on fans...

    Misconceptions about 3.5...Answers

    You can BOTH be wrong you know :-p The actual policy wasn't that "we'll never use it", it was "we won't assume you have the previous book". Thus, when material was reused, it was reprinted, sometimes in an abbreviated manner, or sometimes they simply said "if you don't have X book, use Blah...

    Keep your WOW TALK out of my D&D

    QQ much? :-p (GG=Great Game, generally sarcastic. I could see this used in some of the threads here... "The druid doesn't have animal shapes? GG Wiz!")

    Keep your WOW TALK out of my D&D

    Just to be clear, in WoW, this speech would mark you as an idiot and I'd never group with you... :-p Like the one signature quote "If you say 'plz' instead of 'please because it's shorter, I'll say 'no' instead of 'yes' for the same reason." I can't see Pali being WoWism, but if they said...

    Recommend me some games for the Xbox 360...

    I'm not an "extreme" Halo fan, but I did love the series and world, so take it for what it's worth... The Warthog controlled FUN. It worked good and did what you wanted generally and when you flipped it, was still fun, IMO. meanwhile, Mass Effect and Halflife-2, their vehicles are (as you...

    Misconceptions about 3.5...Answers

    If the DM is saying you can't retrain because there's no rule, and you say "it's in the PHB2" and he replies with "I don't have to use that variant rule", then the problem isn't misconception, most certainly. I'd still not play in the guys game for being a dismissive totalitarian, but then that...

    Recommend me some games for the Xbox 360...

    Since you skipped Xbox, I'd say the entire Halo trilogy will still do you good. You can get 1&2 cheap enough used, give them a try and then move into the next-gen Halo3. Gears 1 was great, I didn't care for 2, but that's me. Call of Duty 2 was great, Modern Warfare is widely acclaimed though I...

    Misconceptions about 3.5...Answers

    So, your DM is operating under the misconception that there is no 3.5 system for retraining? :) I'd wonder if your DM would say "well, we're not going to play 4e since they ruined it by making hit points too easy" or something. The point of the thread is more about folks saying "3.5 didn't do...

    Misconceptions about 3.5...Answers

    No you're not, the rules do not address changing feats. That puts it into the realm of the DM. In 4e, you have a rule limiting how much you can change. His point, IMO, is the false notion that at the point in time that 4e was created and released, these problems were not addressed in some...

    Misconceptions about 3.5...Answers

    It's sort of simple on the retraining issue. In 3e, it was up to the DM to let you rebuild your character when an option proved flawed or when a new option was presented. In PHB2 for 3.5, and in 4e, this was codified into a system where the player had an outlet to change. Of course, the flaw...

    Guild Wars is everything DDO should have been

    Think of it like this, in WoW terms. Each little town and major city that has a flight point is a "shared zone", which is open to anyone. You need to reach them by foot to open them, but then can automagically go to any of them. Everything else is an Instance. It's just your group. It's not a...

    Misconceptions about 3.5...Answers

    I'll say the misconception here is that 4e is fundamentally different in this regard. "I've used my spells up, now I need to spam crossbow attacks." vs "I've used my daily and encounter power, now I have to spam magic missile." Sure there are some differences, but acting like it's some total...

    Dragonlance's "Dragons of Despair" Wikiedpia article

    Seem, I left DL before Saga, just burned out on it, so I mostly skipped the stuff between the Chaos war and the War of Souls. After the War of Souls though, and the 3e books, I lked where dragonlance was. It had, IMO, balanced the two versions of DL into something new and playable. It was...

    Guild Wars is everything DDO should have been

    She's in Eye of the North, which was one of the cool parts. Overall, the story to GW:EN was nice enough, but I just got tired of the swarms of stuff that became so much more common it it. Prophecies has some tough areas, but it seems like the later campaigns built on those tough areas. (Like I...

    Dragonlance's "Dragons of Despair" Wikiedpia article

    Oddly enough, around the time of the "1.5 edition" hard covers (the Dragonlance Adventures book, survival guides, Greyhawk hc, et cetera) we had a group of overpowered adventurers from Krynn head into Temple of Elemental Evil in Greyhawk, we then returned to Krynn and got more involved in the...

    Dragonlance's "Dragons of Despair" Wikiedpia article

    DL10, Dragons of Dreams, was probably our favorite adventure, ever. It was a cluster to run at times, and in no way was it not railroady since you were on tracks and such, but there's nothing else like it, IMO. Sometimes adventures are about telling a story, and we never had any problem with...

    Judge backs Fox's rights to Watchmen

    I couldn't really think of a better word, but I imagine somewhere along the line someone should have picked an option from: 1) The Rights are Free & Clear 2) The Rights are muddy, we should consult fox and/ or a magic 8-ball to sort it out before investing 3) The Rights are muddy, but we think...

    Guild Wars is everything DDO should have been

    I bought Nightfall just for the Heroes, henchman just weren't cutting it. Never did finish Nightfall though, and GWEN just didn't do it for me.
