I feel the same way. Greyhawk gives me a basic framework to start with while not overwhelming me with every last detail (and thus tons of books that take up space and cost $$$$$). While I love the fact that Greyhawk does have sovereign nations and a very feudal European feel, I find that there...

In today's age, most gamers out there have been playing for many, many years (I know I have!). This was most likely a factor in the design of the books for C&C. I liked having the treasure listed in the back of the monster book - this meant 1 less book I had to buy - heck, with 28 years of...

That could very well be true. I can only go off of my experience as a player about 75% finished with it. And we are getting our rear ends handed to us almost every fight, even with cheesed out, combat whores for characters.

Paladin all the way. SCAP is BRUTAL BRUTAL BRUTAL. You guys will be getting your rear ends handed to you. The Paladin will offer much more than the Bard. After half way through the thing, your only diplomacy will be at the end of a sword anyways. Looking back, I can't see how a Bard would...

You are right, he is too big! Colossal is 6x6, check the base, it is 8x8 That makes 2 - the Gargantuan Purple Worm is only a Huge mini, grr!!!

The DM is quite frustrated and burnt out trying to make sense of the rules, just like the rest of us. With so many rules flying at him, he can't keep everything straight (who could?!), and by the end of the night, he is so frustrated with people correcting him, he starts getting angry by the...

Quoted for lots and lots of truth. Damn, what a well written post!

I answer is a resounding "Hell yes!" Just last week, our characters made it to level 14. This is the highest level I have ever legitimately played. (Played higher before, just never legit advancement of the character) The last 5 or 6 sessions we have had, we spent about 50% of the time...

For me personally, I hate them. I distinctly remember a situation a few months ago, where I was interacting with an NPC. My character was a Swashbuckler with a rather high CHA stat, and I did have ranks in Diplomacy for character flavor, so I was the party's face. I talked for a bit, then the...

QFT Eric Noah's rumors that made it seem like they were going to incorporate collectability into 4th edition would ensure they get $0 of my dollars. But, if they streamlined the game, made all the classes functionable through all levels, cleared up all the ambiguities, etc - I would buy it. I...

I really dislike the 3.5 DR system, but for the opposite reasons most of you dislike it. On paper, it looks awesome, but that is not the case. Back in the days of +x needed to hit, or the DR 40 in 3.0 - things were different. If all the fighters went up and thier swords bounced off the...

"Grog got big sword. Grog cut your head off! Grog no care if you think he is mean! If you think Grog is dumb - then Grog kill your pet chicken!" I think that explains the -2 :cool:

More gaming? Always. Back in the military, it was a gamer's paradise. We had a network of about 50 gamers, and I played 7 nights a week for almost a year straight. Ohh, I loved it. And, my job consisted of sitting in a room by myself for 8 hours straight, so that was about 40 hours a week I...

IMO tenant #1 is the only rule required for RPG's. Everyone should have fun - if that goal is acheived, you are playing the game properly. Your group likes to do a bunch of 1 shots - nothing wrong with that if everyone likes it. You want to give Kobold's Uzi's and mirror shades :confused: ...

This is a classic case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing. I am sure Hasbro expects Wotc to bring in some pretty hefty profit. To do so, they need to churn out alot of product! If 5 books are being written simultaneously by 5 different people, they are unable to compare...

In our group, casters usually concentrate on 2 things: buffing the party, and/or damage spells. Save or Die spells almost never work. It is just too dang easy to make saves. When things start getting dangerous, our casters throw out damage, because even a save results in half damage, or it is...

Battle Caster upgrades - it is plainly obvious. It allows you to wear 1 category higher than you normally could. You don't lose the feat if your category goes from light to medium. And 13th level arcane channeling. You can't channel the spell through the same target more than once?! If you...

Kender are to D&D what Jar-jar was to Star Wars. Both are utter abominations, and must be destroyed at all costs. I have played in a game with a Kender PC. Once. Never again. I would rather not play than suffer through that again. However, if the game centered around us playing characters...

Hehe, I asked this same question last week :cool: Bad WotC - Thou shalt format books better from now on!
