Kill 4E. I'd prefer to live and let live, but if one of the 3's gotta go... :):):):) 3E, with it's sexy feats and Vancian magic. Marry 2e, it's got the most potential for a long term relationship. it never seems to get old. Edit: Please don't try to circumvent the profanity filter.

Niche product or not, The Pathfinder modules and settings books are the best RPG products ever made.

I use my 3.5 D&D books to play D&D. I'll probably keep using them till they fall apart or until the final version of the Pathfinder RPG is released. Whichever comes first.

I just finished running "Rise of the Runelords" by Paizo for my group. My players and I all agree that it's the best campaign we've ever played together. There were 2 PC deaths throughout the course of the campaign. Which didn't seem like too many to me. And it serves as a great, organic...

My campaigns usually run from 1st level to 14th. After that the game starts being unworkable. I think the biggest factors in in the length of our fights is familiarity with the rules. I don't need to open any rulebooks once the fights start. Also my players who cast spells have gotten into the...

My group has never seen a 3rd ed. D&D fight that went on longer than 20 minutes. 6 Hours sounds pretty incredible to me.

Dragon born are easily the stupidest thing I've ever seen in D&D ( with 1E psionics being a close second). It's like they come straight out of a Disney movie.

I switched to 3rd the day it came out. Had to drive to 3 gamestores before I found a PHB in stock on the day it dropped.

Playing Pathfinder. Not looking back.

Pretty common where I grew up. Only poor folks, tramps, and thugs played D&D.Most of us were so poor, we lived in squats, ate raw ramen noodles and played with used 1st ed. AD&D books that had been passed down through generations of gutter punk gamers. Really, it was pretty hard core. I didn't...

That may or may not be true. Time will tell. But the name of this thread is "How does the GSL affect me?" not " Let's speculate on how the GSL will affect RPG publishers." For 3rd party publishers who want to support 4ed, the GSL may be troubling. But from my perspective as a fan of 3ed, the...

I couldn't be happier about the GSL. I prefer the 3rd edition system. And now, all the really good 3rd party publishers are going to stay writing for my rule system of choice. Paizo will be staying away from 4th, Sinister adventures will be staying away from 4th, Necromancer projects that were...

I think the communication breakdown is that you're expecting to have a technical discussion of the similarities between videogames and D&D with someone who can't stand videogames and as a result has never bothered to develop any significant technical knowledge of videogames. But my feelings...

You misunderstand. When I say " 4.0 feels and plays like a videogame" the point I'm trying to make is that "4.0 feels and plays like a videogame." I'm not trying to use some secret code when i say that. I'm not trying to obscure the issue. It's not some "sloppy shorthand". I mean exactly...

It. Feels. Like. A. Videogame. If you know what all those words mean individually, you shouldn't have a hard time understanding them when they're put together to form a sentence. I see a lot teeth gnashing, and no shortage of insults directed at people who see similarities between 4.0 and...

Every week. face to face 12 hours. Every couple of months we do a 20 hour marathon session. We're all late 20's to early 30's. We all have careers and most of us have kids. It'd be easy not to play. But we all really want to so we make it a priority. None of the milquetoast once a month for 4...

No. It ain't D&D to me. It's barely even an RPG. I've run it twice now, and I'd rather eat glass than do it again.

Actually, I think the brand name has done all the heavy lifting when it comes to marketing the game. People are gonna buy the game based on the name "dungeons and dragons", not cause some french guy tells them "ze game remains ze same". I think 4.0 is selling well despite WOTC's marketing...

Covering the books in barbed wire and fire-ants would do a better job of selling the books than WOTC's marketing dept. ever could.
