While, in my experience, the "Christmas Tree Effect" has never been a necessity (Players, however, always love more loot, stuff, and items), I also don't understand the problems with Magic Item Pricing. Except for Epic item Pricing. I understand needing a more advanced feat for the more...

You know...that is a good point. In addition, the 3E/current books really don't discuss or reflect any role-playing outside of the rules of combat. Take this one off my list, as it is up to each troupe of DM & players to bring the role-playing to the game. Well, I wasn't specifically talking...

Little things don't bug me and can be worked around. Druids, warlocks, cosmology, tieflings, and such are really not a BIG deal. A few things, however, are a big deal to me. Many things have already been mentioned here, but this is, of course, my list. --The lack of emphasis that this is a...

2 points... First...what is a grognard? A person who simply prefers something old over the newest lastes thing? A person who prefers the old way for wierd reasons? Or....something else? Next thing. Nobody has mentioned the internet's role in the decline of pen and paper RPGs (i'm not...

I'm not sure why Eberron fans would have the market cornered on that one. Generic dragons perched on generic random hoards without some greater purpose is kinda lame in any setting. The thought of every dragon needing a hoard "because all dragons have hoards!" was always a bit boring. Once a...

Sorry. Did not mean to attack your specific example or idea. I was just illustrating that a recent trend in gamers that i've met (as well as some WotC products) have gone towards more of a hack-slash-wandering-monsters-can-be-anything angle. That and the point that just because a lich or any...

Not a thread to be negative... I love the cover artwork...

I don't mean to pick on Cadfan, and not assuming he/she is anything but another gamer like me. However, I'm going to use this statement to help make a point that 3.5 is/wasn't broken - how people can run it has become broken. (read the whole post; i'll tie it together at the end) First...I...

Thumbs Down....so far. I will admit that I felt the same way when 3E came out as I do now. I'm not really all that enthused about 4E. Not at all. However, I really don't remember seeing nearly as many previews, hints, and such for 3E. All I remember seeing previews for was the new AC system...

I agree; the OP was using the word as originally defined; not as it is commonly used by various people/groups in politics. Anyway...as a huge skeptic of 4E, my reading here on these forums has opened my eyes to something about 4E that I like. The system of Saves becoming target numbers for the...

I have 13 books for 3.0/3.5, and that has nothing to do with my opinions on 4E. On a similar note, I was nearly obsessive with White Wolf's revised edition of the Old World of Darkness. The number of books I had for the OWoD games' editions numbered in the hundreds. I was skeptical about the...

Alphabetically. One thing I DON'T want to see as part of the format and organization is what started popping up in MM4 and 5 (maybe earlier): entries and stats for critters that have already been produced in other books...but newly presented with class levels or advanced hit dice. Perfect...

It depends on how we want to define D&D.... The short answer to the question of whether or not 4E feels like D&D...... No. However, what is "THE D&D" we are comparing to? We cannot compare it to a specific edition of D&D's rules, since each edition has made significant changes compared to...

4E has (for now) lost me. I've been reading about it and will continue to do so (hoping that I'll return to a bit of optimistic anticipation); however, there are many elements of the new version and missing elements of the current version that all add up to a game I'm not really interested in...
