    What do you want? (Forked Thread: When did I stop being WotC's target audience?)

    First I think we have to identify the players who switch editions because of the Name brand, not because of the game itself, or who will love anything with the D&D name on the cover even if it was a boxed turd. Then we have to weed out the people who bought it and didnt like it (with any...

    Amazon Sales Rankings - amazing data!

    Sales data never means much. Only because it doesnt and cant take into account how many people liked their product. I for one bought the core 4e set and both FR books. And I like none of them. I'll use the WII as an example too. They are in hot demand. I know alot of people that have them...

    Is D&D recession proof?

    Unless I quit my job the recession wont effect me. I get paid regardless. Im so happy to not live on my own. . . with bills and crap.

    So... My Group Just Broke...

    I say good riddance. Along with wimps who wont ask for the day off, Couples are a bane to a gameing group.

    D&D 3E/3.5 Best 3.5 rules?

    Really the whole rule set. I mean you had so many options. You could make something as ungodly powerful as Pun-Pun and it be legal or you could play a crappy Commoner who was there for comedy relief and getting the party into trouble. THere was nothing you couldnt do with DM approval of course.

    D&D 4E Is 4E doing it for you?

    3e, 4e, and Group Schisms

    Well 3e for my group was welcomes with open arms. While Im living in a new state now and have had to rebuild a group, both my new and old group after reviewing 4e have decided to reject it, and there was no Schism. Should I get more people or decide to join a new group I would reject play of 4e.

    Impact of mechanics on roleplay

    It matters alot, cause I dont want to take the time to make something up on the spot. If Joe wants to play a Sculpter the rules need to be there to do it. If there arent craft skills or some weak peasant or craftsman class or something similar Joe has to be something else and "Pretend." He is a...

    I was "booed" for even showing the 4e Core books

    Im not reading 4 pages. So im responding on to the topic starter. Yes i have encountered this. In fact aside from here on enworld (I dont tend to go to other message boards for D&D) the response has been overwhelmingly negative in the real world. Between going to stores where the cant move the...

    D&D 4E Greyhawk 4e: Back to the Beginning...

    Im not a Greyhawk fan but come one. Seriously? I hope this is utter rubbish. Why do they have to do so many stinkin changes just because there is a 4e. Oh, wait i know why. Cause the edition they created doesnt fit with current settings. They need to just publish new settings or do old ones...

    Flavour First vs Game First - a comparison

    Im not reading 11 pages of replys. So I'll comment on the started topic. Basically if you play a character such as the rogue and you twiddle your thumbs in the corner, your not playing the Rogue right. You arent using tactical movemnt and flanking you arent sneaking ahead and if your DM allows...

    Forked Thread: How difficult are 3.xE characters to create?

    There is no difficulty in creating High Level NPC's. Its based on the individual Dm. I can plan out and stat up a 40th level BBEG in about 20 minutes. Thats not alot considering everything. If you want some generic high level guy you can do that in about 5 minutes. Simply, even less if you...

    A player wants his pet baby phoenix to grow into a dragon . . .

    I'd say no. I had a player like that over a year ago. It doesnt just stop, he or she will continue to ask for rediculous things that they know better than to get. For instance I had a player literally ask to be Squall Leonheart from FF8 in my Forgotten Realms game. This was after he asked if...

    To RP Game Players/Gamemasters -- What is Fun? What is Unfun?

    Fun 1. Being able to be anything in the game world even if it isnt optimizing. 2. Lots and Lots of history and lore to a game. I love game metaplot. See the old world of darkness for a good example of what I like in that regard. 3. Tons of rules. I like that unless im playing in a heavily...

    One major thing I sure miss...

    Maybe there isnt alot of excitement because 3.5 was a huge leap and 4e was three steps forward and two steps back. I think there were too many who were getting 4e because it had th D&D brand name, and arent as thrilled as they would like us to think.

    Deva or Aasimar?

    Another reason Deva is totally wrong for the new name of the Aasimar. Like it or not if your going to change the lore of something have some cool reason why. Like maybe some ancient enemy of the Deva killed them all and their divine energies went into all the Aasimar, creating their new status.

    Is DDI going to be retro?

    Does anyone have any word on how the DDI is even doing? Aside from people who frequent message boards I havent met one person in real life that knows about it. Including game shop owners. Personally Im not paying for something like the DDI, and if you cant get "back Issues" as a free download...

    Aasimar are now . . . Devas.

    Yay! More lame Lore changes. I Understand the whole spellplague thing and the changes based on the passage of time, but why totally change all the lore? Aasimar are Aasimar totally seperate from Deva, unless the ancestor that allowed for the Aasimar was a Deva. Man this is so dumb. I cant...
