My favorite game memories were with games that you sat back, relaxed and kinda disconnected. Super Mario for NES. There was a game called Jump Car I had on my Commode 64. I have fairly fond memories of every night when I was maybe sixteen I would play this game called Commando, I think, while...

I like the rules to be separate from the fluff. I prefer to add in the fluff myself afterwards because I think that I'm pretty good fluffer.

It might be important to note that if advancing a creature's HD results in higher base stats (Str and Con), then abilities based on those do improve.

Everybody's got something to hide except for me and my monkey. It's fun fighting monkey NPCs. The wizard gets to shock the monkey while the fighter spanks the monkey.

The funny thing about this thread is that it is suppposed to be about how 4E can be elegant and streamlined. How do you know what changes are more elegant and streamlined? To me, the question to ask is, would such-and-so change make the game easier or harder for casual or first-time players...

Rolling together feats that are pretty rarely used and have something in common would be good. Swim, Jump and Climb could be Athletics, and they all require Strength already. Get rid of the class/crossclass skills. Instead it should be presented with each class having skills that they get a +X...

Does anybody still have the story about the Head of Vecna?

Split the housework. You each have your own chores to do. You then each have a choice. You can be happy with the way the other person does his/her chores, or you can do it yourself. There is no nagging somebody to do it right or, even worse, walking behind him/her and doing it over. Yes, you...

Ah, I see. Spells are stored in the kidneys.

Disagree, very much. You interpretation of fighters as the mere bodyguards for wizards could just as easily be interpreted as the wizards being mere fire support for the fighters. etc, etc, bla bla bla. None of the classes work well by themselves. That is what we call balance. None of the...

No, you don't have to carry around golf bag of weapons. That was why they lowered the DR number in 3.5. It sure is nice to bypass a creatures resistance, but a fighter-type should be able to beat through the DR anyway, with a non-magical weapon even.

No, it means that you and your friend have to have the exact same level of problems. Which make sense. After all, you have to have the exact same power level to do the fusion dance. This is a different kind of fusion dance.

I like that rule. I can sleep with anyone! Just don't tell my wife.

You know, Bob Dylan really couldn't sing worth a damn, but that's okay. He didn't pretend to be a "singer". Similar story with, say, Violent Femmes. The moral is that you don't have to be perfect to perform, but don't try to be "all that" with something you are pretty terrible at.

Hey, that earth mephit idea is a really great one. I've never used mephits before and didn't think I ever would. All I'll have to do is just tweak them slightly to change them to earth dragon-touched locathah.

Locathah have a CR of 1/2. The half-dragon adds 3 to that. CR 3 or 4? Okay, now what if you took away the element immunity, took away the breath weapon and added some minor earth-oriented powers (much like a half-celestial in orientation)?

How about Favored Soul? I like Warlock, but that might not go so well with your group.

Ah, Teletubbies. My theory is that the teletubbies are half-rabbit, half-TV constructs that live in a malfunctioning holodeck. You can tell it's malfunctioning because random things suddenly appear, then they suddenly disappear. Teletubbies is strangely very relaxing. I like the bunnies. My...

Do you find yourself putting way too much thought into your kids TV shows? In other words, who else thinks that Isa the Iguana has a thing for Boots? Why do Little Bears parents wear clothes but he and his friends don't? Just how does Franklin manage to put on his shirt so it's half under his...

If ordinary behavior modification isn't working, see your doctor. Ask him about Ambien. If you are going to use a med, this is the right one for your symptoms. You can only take it only occasionally, it's not for every night. If helps you get to sleep in 10 minutes, but you have to get at least...
