I would vote on one of three choices: Laura Roslin (having a dream shared with No 6, Athena, and her baby is bad mojo.) Dee, well, as you pointed out, it kinda fits. Tom Zarik, since some of the others were involved in the rebellion against the Cylons, why not rebellion against humans, too...

depends on pre-4e or not? Before the Spellplague, Lathander. Hints have been made that after the Spellplague, Amanautor.

Exactly! So, Piratecat... since you put boobies on your gelantinous cubes, also; does that make them silicon cubes? (ba-dum bum) I voted can't we all get along. I agree with most posters here. I like some design concepts and dislike others. 4e just isn't for me, but if it is for others, great...

Good list by the OP. My own reason is that I prefer a more... (I can't remember all the words for it) realistic, simulationist, whatever style of gameplay. Not that 3.x did it well, either, but I have all those books and don't really want to spend more money. 4e has gone a step farther away from...

oooh, I forgot a good one. I really had high hopes for this after reading the books, and the fluff and concepts were great. The game system, however, fell flat on its face. Combat and character creation was a disaster. The game: Living Steel! It was also a headache for GMs, as the players got...

Games I thought I would like but didn't: HarnMaster, Hackmaster, Paranoia, Call of Cthulhu Games that I thought I wouldn't but ended up liking: Chill, Rolemaster, D&D 3e (I went very grudgingly to this one) Lots of games that are so-so or met expectations are Twilight 2000, Star Frontiers...

Most of my reasons have already been mentioned. Lots of 3.x material, I like it, etc, etc, ditto, ditto, so on and so forth. But a big one for me that hasn't been mentioned has been the change in style. I think 3.x moved towards this, but 4e is taking it too far. The best example is the "we go...

I watched razor again, and went over the last two episodes of BSG and I am slightly disappointed... I was hoping Starbuck was just a vision to Apollo, someone only he could see. I think that could have been really neat "Uh, dad? we need to make a left turn at the next nebula. My spirit guide...

Now stop being a hack and admit your real age.... all 12 years of it ...with pimples :lol: okay, I've seen pictures of you for real, so I know better. But I thought the article was good for something to explain what was going on.

why am I still here? Humor. Piratecat's comments on his gelantinous cube having boobies was great. Honestly, I like some that I see with 4e (less alignment), hate a bunch more (rapid advancement for one), but I am still curious. Mouseferatu's comments are interesting. 4e would have been more...

okay, maybe, just maybe, we are interpreting the questions wrong. 1st group is they like changes and will use them. 3rd group, very important, is those who don't use FR and now will. my guess is new players, good idea? 4th group are those who don't like changes and keep same timeline. players...

except that there is also the larger combined balance of people hating the changes and either keeping the current timeline or keeping 3.5. About 29% (combined) do not like and probably won't bother as opposed to about 11% who didn't like FR and now do. Maybe WotC didn't know what they were doing.

I guess I am like Geron Raveneye initially. I just don't get it. Look at the examples he provides. "I want to play a guy who's wicked with a bow" ... okay, fighter or possibly ranger. Maybe even a level of mage for something special in the PCs, depends on where your concept goes. "I want to...

Dagnabit was a dwarf, I believe.

non-D&D use, but I have had action points (fate points) in a Rolemaster game for over 10 years. You start with 3 and gain 1 per level. Other gms give more or none at all depending on the heroic style of the game (super-epic gm give out a lot more) an interesting idea I use also is that certain...

On other forums specifically with FR in mind, many want the RSE's to stop. There have been many the last few years, and most readers and fans want smaller novels, and less destruction of the Realms. It has really accelerated since 3e. It may be the norm, but it is a designer's norm, and not...

One game I was in (I started two sessions after everyone else) I rolled my character in front of people. My highest stat was a 16, my lowest 10. I thought it was decent. All the other guys had at least one, sometimes two 18's. When we got higher in level, another player joined. He spent all his...

Sorry for thinking that fate points, while optional in RM, have been around for many years and seem to function the same way these action points seem to. Yes, it isn't core, but gee, it is in the rulebooks. One of the companions introduced them, which is kinda similar to a Complete book in 3.5...

hmmm... critical hits with a fireball arcane spell failure spell levels up to 30 or so action points are we talking D&D or Rolemaster?

Let me see... Monty Python and the Holy Grail had a scene or two with that, also. The plague victim ("I'm not dead yet.") and the son who was being forced to be married against his will are two that come to mind. Also, a movie called Love you to Death (I think that was the title) had Kevin...
