    AL VS LFR of 4th and why I'm so disappointed

    I hear you. I fight the urge to stoop to that prominent personality's level often and many times I lose, but I fear that battle will take away from our message. The more people like you who come on board and say "Hey you are approaching this the wrong way and making my organized play experience...

    AL VS LFR of 4th and why I'm so disappointed

    I want to re-state the above statement a different way. You might be listening, but I really do think you're minds are made up and not open to new input. This is the way it should have been said.

    AL VS LFR of 4th and why I'm so disappointed

    At the rate new content is being produced, you can let the audience determine if it is balanced. All possible min/max builds for SCAG are pretty much already realized. This book should be considered the same as the Player's handbook. There is plenty of time to evaluate the produced material, and...

    AL VS LFR of 4th and why I'm so disappointed

    LFR's problems weren't with the unrestricted ruling of the organized play model. They DID NOT balance their content against the Player's handbook. The problem with 4e was the Min/Max range was much, much wider than 5e allowing for well built characters to dominate inexperienced DMs. I believe...

    AL VS LFR of 4th and why I'm so disappointed

    Yes, but it does affect you if you are interested in completing the story line. If you don't go to a big con, you will never get to complete the storyline of liberating Phlan from the Dragon. That matters to me.

    AL VS LFR of 4th and why I'm so disappointed

    I don't understand this statement. I'm sorry I don't keep up on who is who with the writers. I never said anything about the interactives after someone left. I played 4th edition from start to finish.

    AL VS LFR of 4th and why I'm so disappointed

    Here we go. Page 156 of the Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide for 3.5 second column under regional history it clearly talks about the how the region was once ruled by Djinn. Genasi are pretty much to Djinn what Tieflings are to Devils and that makes this a region rich for genasi lore. Page 84 of...

    AL VS LFR of 4th and why I'm so disappointed

    I have participated as a DM in the battle interactives of 4e that had 16-20 tables. The coordinator for those interactives was a close friend of mine and I discussed the challenges with him a lot. I find it hard to believe that Epics are very much different then the battle interactives of 4th...

    AL VS LFR of 4th and why I'm so disappointed

    I totally missed this part. Sorry about that. Good job taking my statements out of context. I don't see how DDAO is anyway shape or form a good avenue for a MyRealms playtest since its the Admins doing the writing. Also, I think you guys are missing the point of My Realms. It is not, so the...

    AL VS LFR of 4th and why I'm so disappointed

    Pauper. It doesn't matter who Skerrit is. You missed my point. The mods should be made available at all cons. Not just cherry picked ones. Now I was upset because I thought his mod was the origin story of Elisande. He cleared that up and stated it will be in one of the next published mods...

    AL VS LFR of 4th and why I'm so disappointed

    Where do you travel from? How much is the cost to go to those cons? Also, I'm not saying they shouldn't have epics. I'm just saying they should be the only ones to have epics.

    AL VS LFR of 4th and why I'm so disappointed

    The hardback mods are part of AL yes, but I am addressing what was expeditions here. I do understand that this name has been retired and organized play has taken on a whole new direction, so maybe my concerns are addressed in this manner. Hopefully they will put the AL stamp on more third party...

    AL VS LFR of 4th and why I'm so disappointed

    I intentionally picked the good aspects of LFR and the bad aspects of AL. I'm trying to show what it is about AL that frustrates me and give an example how my experience with this aspect of organize play was better with LFR. I was with LFR from the start and remember the cards. Yes, the...

    AL VS LFR of 4th and why I'm so disappointed

    My experience with AL AL - So far every season has been in the Moonsea. While it is an interesting region, FR has much more to offer, and the feel and tone of the mods really hasn't changed. An oppressed city being overrun by an evil cult. There has only been one story award chain (Mulmaster...

    AL VS LFR of 4th and why I'm so disappointed

    Hello, I've been very critical of the AL admins way of doing things. I find a lot of people agree with me and others don't, and then there are those that just want to be contrary. I'm going to express my reasons in a different way by comparing my experience with both RPGA systems. 4th LFR -...

    D&D 5E Experience with a bladesinger?

    The Drow ability to fight with two weapons came from their monster description in the Fiend Folio. At the time they were the only warriors that could do it. Drizzt using two scimitars was a result of that description. If you read the homeland books, his father fought with two weapons as did...

    D&D 5E Experience with a bladesinger?

    In the Elfsong book series by Ellaine Cunningham, one of the ancestors that use to own the moonblade was a bladesinger that fought with two swords. Her spirit was conjured by the blade.

    D&D 5E Experience with a bladesinger?

    I just played my strait 5th level bladesinger last night in encounters. I started off the battle by being a wizard and fireballing a bunch of gnolls. I killed three. The rest of the party, which was made up mostly of warriors, was bottlenecked because the paladin had a bear mount and passage was...
