Etherscope. I love a good steampunk game.

Huh. Thanks for filling me in!

Could someone summarize what AE did for those of us not as familiar with the system?

I think that the books should focus on the rules side of things. Leave it to each group to determine how heavily role-playing weighs into the formula and in what way. Personally, I like to see it weighed heavily, but I that doesn't mean I give the role-playing advice given in some books (such...

This is true, but it does not mean that they're not in the PHB, just that there's no evidence that they are. :p

Giving spellcasters more low-level powers, IMO, is a very good thing. I like what the expanded classes articles on the WotC site did for psions earlier this year (links: 1 2 ). Although I'm not sure if the writers of those articles are also working on 4e, I think they were designed with similar...

I agree that magic missile is a very likely candidate for "at will" status. In 4e, there may be no difference between a ranged touch attack and a reflex save. ;)

Thanks for the new poll! "Yes. Why not? They're okay" sums up my feelings exactly.

I don't plan on buying the preview books. I will read the highlights here on EN World and maybe flip though it at the FLGS, but I'm saving my money for the PHB and DMG.

Nice ring to it. I have used the term "myrmidon" by itself to refer to a fighter/spellcaster. It's a nice fit..you know, if you ignore the word's history and connotations. ^_^

Similar thread: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=206055 It definitely seems like a new edition to me. The changes we see may not rival those of the 2e->3e transition, but I imagine the game will feel different enough that it wouldn't be right to call it anything but 4e.

Where did you hear that? First I've heard of this rumor.

Genius! I will be stealing this idea for any future pre-4e games.

Ability score adjustments, perhaps? ;)

QFT. Also note that SWSE does away with both, as did d20 Modern way back in the day. Your system, Howndawg, reminds me very much of racial substitution levels, and, like those racial substitution levels, it's an interesting idea and a worthwhile option to have available, but I don't think it...

(Did you mean Gollum?) Of the choices, I definitely had to vote NPCs. Whether foes or allies, having a cast of well-imagined NPCs is a great way of encouraging well-imagined PCs. I know that when I was starting out, I didn't quite get the whole "roleplaying" thing until I played under a DM who...

Bard! Realistically, I would play either. I'll determine my preference next summer.

Sorry, not my intention. ^_^ I would love to, once I have a MM in my hands again. My only MM1 is 3.0, and I only have my 3.5 books with me at the university. I'll see if I can grab someone else's and look it over.
