quanity over quality As much as I hate to say it. I think WotC is best to reboot every 5 years. In the case of a widely acclaimed edition, the changes of the new edition would be slighter. However, when an edition is highly controversial, the next one would very greatly. Also, I disapprove of a...

I disagree. Combat that doesn't matter is the last bastion of a poor DM. I've seen it a thousand times. :(

Damn, I miss pewter miniatures...

LOL, Replace MAN with BADASS!

7. Allow thieves to backstab anytime a sneak attack would be allowed in 3e. Theives can be a little underpowered otherwise in 2e.

1. Give em high stats. 18,17,16,15,14,13 and make sure to allow one reroll for exceptional strength. I played lots of great characters with lower stats in 2e, but this isn't the time or place for that. If your players have low stats they'll feel severely underpowered. 2. Make sure to use kits...

I've also found, to my tastes anyway, that combat flowed better in 3rd with fewer players (1-4), and better in 4th for a larger number (5 or greater). I think the number of players had a less impactful bearing on AD&D which is partly why I still enjoy that system the most. My own homebrew kinda...

House Rules I've attached some cool house rules I use, although the "core" rules are still necessary.

Congrats! You're a very lucky guy.

I got some really good 2ed house rules. Otherwise, I'd go with Hackmaster.

Combat got REALLY long in 3.5 later on in levels, but I found the fights in 4th to be too long out of the gate. I found AD&D and SWSE to have a good balance here (I'm not even going to get into Shadowrun). Other games that have quick combat tend to have underdeveloped systems of advancement. I'm...

Zosa LeStryfe was a strange hybrid character I created for a rather magnificent SWSE campaign a couple of years ago. Don't know why, but it really stands out as a good one to me. The character looked and acted a lot like me in RL (with the exception of force powers) so I guess the name kinda...

If I remember correctly, the online tabletop was one of the biggest selling points for 4th edition during pre-release. The encounter-based game mechanics centering around tiles, power cards, and whatnot seemed groomed from the ground up to be compatable with such functionality. In fact, I...

What percentage of role players would you say are attractive? While in high school, the group I played with was mostly average in attractiveness. However, although most of us were antisocial, a few of us were above average looking. Also, my group was entirely male. As I have gotten older, I...

Okay, this thread is obviously done. I didn't mean to offend anyone, but I can see the writing on the wall. I wish for nothing but the best for ALL role players out there, even the ones I disagree with. I guess I'll go back to my own meanderings and leave the mainstream to the mainstream. Thanks...

What results are these, Crothian? An actual discussion? I'm not besmirching an individual's point of view here. Your disdain for an open conversation is pretty offensive to my American sensibilities. I'm sorry if I upset you in this way, but I have to wonder where the origins of such a reaction...

Thanks for the replies, guys! My own gaming has been going good since I thoroughly enjoy the system I created. I must admit that supplying the artwork for it was a challenge, since I was personally forced to reach a higher level of quality so my players would get excited enough to play. I guess...

I liked DA:O but I kind of feel that world may not be quite deep enough for my liking when it comes to pnp. Still, I like the direction Bioware has taken with it(outside of the heinous dlc).

I played a couple of 3.5 adventures once where I gave the dm my 4ed mm and told him it would fix a bunch of problems. It ended up being a pretty good hybrid too. Still, at the end of the day, I felt like I was playing Naruto instead of dnd. It was fun, but not exactly immersive.

Once again, I see no reason why I am being ridiculed and no one here has made an attempt to engage my post with possitive feedback. What IS going on here??? I really feel as though I am at a loss here... :(
