Who says? Sorry if I seem a bit pessimistic, but I get annoyed at people ranting about how 4e isn't 3.5. Whatever. I'm sure the point of releasing a new edition is to give people more of the same. Why does the "old guard" complain that a different edition is different? If you don't want...

I think the thing that gets left out in your little analogy is that D&D does not go away once you play it. Ice cream, once eaten, is not worth getting back. So suppose you've been eating Rocky Road for the past 10 years and then the company that's been making the rocky road comes out and says...

No kidding. I like some of the stuff from earlier editions, but overall, 4e has won me over. Most of the crap that made D&D feel really cluttered was thrown out, and the classes were made to showcase the skills they truly excelled at.

I think WotC did this because the "old guard" freakin had their editions already. 3 of them. I'm 17 and like 4e a lot better than other editions. I'm not sure if I can afford the rulebooks that they're shipping out in "packets" (I'm quite poor, I don't even own a computer to type this on) but I...

I understand this, but the way I see it is that each D&D edition is a game system with its own unique way of playing, each set in the D&D universe, which is where the fantasy and storytelling come in so it's no longer just a game of numbers. But from what I've seen, each edition of D&D retells...

^What Jhaelen said. The party will excel where rangers are useful, but beyond that they'll probably tank badly. Oh well, only time will tell I suppose.

Yeah, considering it's the first edition I actually got to learn (2e....never again.)

I don't quite understand most of these complaints. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought D&D was a game built in the imagination, without that it'd just be a board game, right? I read the manual of planes and for me it was a tool to help build exciting adventures off of. In fact...

1.) How many players in your group? 5 to 6, depends 2.) Do you DM? yup 3.) Do other people in the group DM, and how many? Pancho tries. Idk, maybe one day 4.) What's the Male/Female composition of the group? mostly guys, though a couple girls. Can't say for sure since girls are the most...

Yey. Hopefully It gives flavor text to sigil so I can describe it to my players in a way that isn't totally confusing.

Don't play WoW. Don't want to. There's something about sitting at a computer for hours at a time playing some game that makes me feel....useless.

Umm...one annoying one was NastyC The Dark Prince. I wish it could be some sexual joke, but no, it's just long and annoying. *sigh*

I wouldn't say mine or theirs, but it's "our" game. I wouldn't put a rule in my game if it made my players feel hindered, and likewise, if my players came up with some ridiculous houserule (like playing with yu-gi-oh cards....but that's a story for another day) I would reject it. The game is...

I have a problem much like this, but the one person who actually kept getting annoyed at RPing got kicked (very problematic player) as for the rest though, they seem like they just can't quite initiate. All you have to do is find a way to get them going on it, and they'll pretty much be set. Try...

I have a friend who wants to do this with his character. I know 1st level characters get a certain amount of points to allocate to each different ability, and he basically sacrificed intelligence, wisdom and some other stuff for it, and I was wondering if this is acceptable by game terms? It...

I like the 4e DMG because for me, it acts the way it should, as a guide. Sometimes just so much as reading the page that talks about what a good adventure should have helps keep me going in the same direction. From there I can just use my imagination to come up with things I'd want to throw into...

This is like Dungeons & Dragons, Pokemon edition. Pure win.

Well, I guess my best fights don't stand a chance compared to the ones already discussed (dammit...) but I do have a terrible one that probably tops the lot. We were supposed to retreive an amulet (a sword? a relic of some sort? we were told to go get it but were never told what exactly we...

umm..... Somehow I get the feeling that those things will be a little difficult to procure. Anyhow, get her what you see works for your game sessions. I can't help but feel that giving people XP for christmas is a dead giveaway that you're a nerd (not that playing D&D doesn't put anyone under...

I don't see what's wrong with a videogame inspired mission so long as it works. Take mirror's edge. In one of the levels you find youself leaping across rooftops to chase down a guy (not throwing out spoilers, just in case) After playing this I thought, "this would make an awesome skill...
