Somebody should buy it and hand it over to the grognadia fellow...

Put that way, you are right. What is a bad idea for me is implementation that requires lots of prep time. Good point...I think I was trying to avoid just saying I disliked 3rd Edition implementation, avoiding edition war language, but it made me unclear.

Some great responses and ideas. It looks like there are a good number of ways they could do similar ideas without the extra work...:cool:

I remember making up NPCs and Monsters in 3rd Edition started to feel like a chore. I know, to each his own, but that's one thing 4E did much better. I am more of a 2nd Edition guy overall, and would rather play 3rd than DM it. I'm still hoping 5E takes the best of each edition, at least in...

I get the impression that those polls are snapshots of fan sentiment, rather than considered robust statistical data...I'd be very surprised to learn they had no other means of collecting relevant information about players, or that they are basing large decisions on those polls alone. :uhoh:

What Kamikaze said makes a lot of sense. It seems the modular design will encourage faster play for some, without eliminating the options for those who like more detailed tactics or play styles that involve slower or faster advancement. They are just designing around the averages. One poster...

Me too...2 hours week would be lucky...once a month maybe...one-shot games often...

I think they're gearing up for an April Fools joke.

Oh, the joy! Remember Wasteland and games like the original Bards Tale? http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/inxile/wasteland-2?ref=search

The names don't mean anything the first time. But they sure mean a lot to me after that first encounter. It has to do with the quality and style of that particular author. I don't recall avoiding an RPG book because of the author, but I sure do remember buying a book without reading it...

Thank you Tenkar! That's one step forward!

The Eldritch Role-Playing game was launched in 2008, published by Goodman Games. Created by Dan Cross and Randall Petras, the game system is written for gamers who enjoy having myriad character options, exciting and diverse action scenes; all without losing a narrative focus. Adventuring...

That is really cool! The kinks will get worked out in time.

The "jump right in and start playing" aspect is cool. Hopefully they will have an active game board, with both classic campaign-style, and one-shot games represented.

Online DM, has Maptools gotten a bit more "Plug and Play" with it's Port Forwarding? I remember having some trouble with that...like it just didn't work. I don't want to put my server computer into the router's "DMZ" to play. That's one of the reasons I like the web-based idea.

That is encouraging. I don't play any table-top games now, due to an incompatible schedule. BUt the VTT could change that, especially with a built-in network. All of my friends are far, far apart. So the Wizards community is probably my best best for playing at odd hours of the night in my PJs...

I'm surprised I see little feedback from the ongoing VTT beta users. Any positive experiences so far? It would have to be really rich and well integrated with the DDI experience to best programs like Fantasy Grounds. The only drawback to other VTTs is that it takes more prep for systems that...

The vt was supposed to be there in the first place...did they determine price after they dumped it in the beginning?

I am waiting that VT. Once it appears, I will likely join DDI and give it a try. I hope my future players can jump on for free, but some of them would shell out $10 a month if I were running. It would be really cool to reunite like that. I own Fantasygrounds, but as with Maptool, it requires...

I am actually glad they are doing the reboot. Smart move for the cheaper softboumd books, and I really like the digest size.
