Just because they're living your dream doesn't mean the designers don't have feelings too mate. Is there really any difference between the people who think the designers of 4e are jerks, and anyone who thinks anyone else is a jerk?

Why not? It's evocative, sounds like D&D and could hardly be said to offend Eric's grandma. Feel free to use it, but I'd suggest coming up with something of your own. This board needs further random creativity now more than ever. I don't know if you remember it from the earlier part of the last...

As a fellow 4e DM (and squealing 4e fanboy) I totally agree on all counts.

This forever and ever and ever. :D

If true, I find that surprising. Not calling you a liar but it doesn't feel right to me. I guess my experience with gamers in the last decade is people I've introduced to D&D (some of them former gamers) and the denizens of ENWorld, who I think tend to be older. Of course I could be wrong about...

Then I'm probably about 5 years younger than you. Yeah me too dude, and I loved them. I've never enjoyed a CRPG as much as Pool of Radiance. I don't know what you mean by 'all things being equal' in this case. But I think the penetration is very different, then to now. I also think the...

Just about everybody I know is in the 25-35 demographic and almost all of us waste a large part of our lives playing computer games. But when I was in the infantry most guys were under 25 and while they were more likely to go out drinking Thursday to Sunday, they all played computer games too...

While I don't play WoW, I'm sure if it existed when I was 10 I would never have bothered playing D&D. While I get out of TTRPGs something that CRPGs are a long way from being able to offer (if ever), when I was a kid I pined for a game like WoW. Then again, as Stormonu points out, Harry Potter...

I think there's also the problem, which also exists in contemporary political discourse, where one side or another has co-opted or even subverted many elements of the language used to discuss the subject. The problem being then, that rational discussion becomes literally impossible due to...

Fair point. Though 3e seemed to be aimed more at the (formerly teen) existing player base that had grown up with earlier editions. In my opinion (and I'm a 4e fan) the marketing of 4e is aimed at a younger market than 3e was at least. Of course, that could just be my perception. I was in my...

He can't help himself. He's got to mutter and pick his scabs in every :):):):)ing thread. Mod Edit: Folks, what we see here is an invocation of the language filter. It means the poster here could not control his tongue in a civil way, so he got bleeped. However, the existence of the filter...

Canberra's the go. Queenslanders aren't smart enough to play RPGs.

Me too! 1986 - I remember it like yesterday.

It's a funny thing. Part of me wants the hobby to grow while another part doesn't want my game marketed at 15 year olds. I think selfish grognardism is natural but ultimately not good for the hobby. I'd say for the hobby to grow it's going to have to lose some old fans and that's what's...

NO, NOT GREENLEAF!

Nice bot.

I have it on pretty good authority that I am the only remaining subscriber to DDI. So whatever it's costing them to run, they're only recouping about US$6 a month. I'd call it a massive financial failure on WotC's part.

It's generally much easier to build with timber so any area near a forest (or downriver from one) will mostly have timber structures. Stone and brick are usually used out of necessity (ie. there is no timber available), however wealthier owners might pay extra to have stone/brick structures...

I think he means the idea that every adventuring party contains only characters that are absolute paragons of one of the 6 ability scores is a verisimilitude-shattering coincidence. I agree, however just like how 4e has redefined the relative power of character levels (i.e. a level is no longer...
