    Death of the LGS

    Other then WoTC and WW i would have warhammer dark heresy. Dispite games workshops unrelenting refusal to adapt to the 90's (never mind the new millennium) and utter determination to continue failing as a business this still sells well. I know the change to FFG is creating alot of uncertainty...

    Death of the LGS

    WoTC might not be big enough. But Hasbro absolutely is. and if amazon or anyone else was breaking the established rules and damaging Hasbro's income then u can bet your butt that Hasbro can and would take them to court to get thier money back. Thats one of the only advantages for D@D to be part...

    Forked Thread: Its the terminology that kills me...

    To me it would mean it was getting bigger, not necesarily healthier. Obesity is about getting bigger. Sometimes bigger isnt allways better. Personally i dont want people who think of thier character as a "toon" at my table and i don't think that when WoTC starts making books for those people its...

    Death of the LGS

    Throw in some real comfortable chairs, maybe a couple of projectors on tables near the walls so anyone running a game can put maps on the wall and you'd get my business every week.

    What non-4e would you play if there was no OGL at all?

    either warhammer roleplay or world of darkness. Maybe dark heresy if i wanted a sci-fi feel.

    Do nonmagical 1/day abilities damage suspension of disbelief?

    You mean like making a 3 pointer, throwing a long range TD pass, hitting a home run, or breaking out of the backfield when your line falls apart under a blitz and getting first down yardage? yeah no one has ever done those more then once a day.

    Death of the LGS

    I think that renting gaming tables and internet access is probably the key to being successful. However as someone who has been gaming for years and never gamed at a store maybe listing the reasons why i never wanted to play at any store before could give you a better idea what keeps people from...

    Good FLGSs in Vegas & Salt Lake City

    For las vegas theres a hobbytown usa on decatur and sahara (west side of town but not that far from the strip) that i've been going to for years. Its got a really diverse selection too with tons of 3rd party stuff that its hard to find other places. The two streets its on are both major streets...

    Honestly, if WoTC didn't create it would 4e be D&D?

    As different as the class and power system is now from any previous editions i think they could have solved quite a few of these issues if they just went totally classless. It would help make sure it was different enough to avoid some of the comparisons to older editions and wouldn't have had...

    Yet another "4.0 impressions" thread

    I wonder though if it was gaming that made them smarter or if its just that people who are more cerabral are more attracted to gaming. The older incarnations, even the 3xs came out in a world where MMO's were either non existant or just starting up. I dont think theres really any way to know how...

    Yet another "4.0 impressions" thread

    I guess i'm wierd then, going on 26 and i really want to see more nudity, not just in D&D but pretty much everywhere. People are far too uptight about skin, real or art. its always been a huge component of fantasy art to have some skin showing and i dont particularly like the watering down of...

    You don't like the new edition? Tell me about it!

    Theres a lot of stuff i dislike but I could deal with or happily handle with a house rule. The couple of things that really broke it for me though and made sure I'll never run a game of 4e are.... The locked in roles. I didnt like how hard it was to make some archetypes early in the 3rd...

    You don't like the new edition? Tell me about it!

    All the reasonable stuff has been said, over and over, ad nauseum. LOL you should pay more attention. None of it is actually reasonable remember? We are afraid of change, or just dont understand the new paradigm and once we do we too will fall to our knees and worship at the idol of 4e...

    You don't like the new edition? Tell me about it!

    Did'nt 3.5 sell more copies in an average week then all those games put together sold during their entire print run? Eventually even the fanbois are gonna realize that WoTC doesn't piss gold and crap diamonds and this big load they dropped on us with 4e isn't a "diamond that just needs to be...

    Are you "kobolded" out?

    I've been kobolded out since running dragon mountain back in 2e. At this point it just seems like lazy designing to me, along with some module designers annoying obsession with traps.

    Rituals take too long and creative casting is dead

    Those youtube videos were perfect, absolutely pre 4e caster and everyone else. Perfectly captures one of the only things i like enough about 4e to have gotten me to order the books.

    Rituals take too long and creative casting is dead

    None of those are new tools. All of those skills existed before and all of their uses were possible before. I find this love of the skill challenge system frankly absurd. Its something that most DM's were basically doing as far back as secondary skills in 2e, all they did is copy and paste some...

    4E and RPG Theory (GNS)

    well when u see some player say something stupid like that remind him being your character is knowing your in life and death situations all the time and being hit with a sword or bitten by something HURTS. And dying SUCKS, even with ressurection magic. So any real portrayal of the character...

    4E and RPG Theory (GNS)

    Which is a problem that real people have to face all the time, and thus part of what makes the game more immersive and fun. When u take those out of the game u take away a huge part of the escapism that makes the game fun. Also tactics are ultimately about your character surviving. So if...
