This is plain wrong. I own it, and am reading the book. I have flipped through it in pieces too. I do not understand where you get they are focusing on the wargaming aspect. If anything 3.0 and 3.5 did. 4e is loaded with story, role playing and adventure. They specifically mentioned that...

The poll is setup as the standard you want held more so than the option you would choose. If you pick Piazo campaign setting, it is assumed you would also look at WOTC stuff.

Go buy Races and Classes. It will remove your apprehension.

I don't think we will. But the commentary about the horse and man having a close relationship, like a biker and his bike and their relating the D&D human adventurer to the wild west cowboy and the sense of adventure, free sipirit and rugged lifestyle was just inspring and awesome. A very...

I am so sold on 4e. Races and Classes is awesome. The absolute most powerful thing that struck me... Humanity's flaw is corruption. Just wow. Deep, powerful, epic, true.

Alright, Races and Classes is awesome. I am so excited for 4e and looking forward working with it in our business. I am thoroughly impressed with the human flaw too. Brilliant and very thought provoking. I would love to have been there when the designers hit that idea, and knew it was the one...

20 mins is nothing. D&D is going to smoother its players with fluff, character concepts and story. Your D&D characters are going to not die as easily as you do in WOW. D&D is going to make the players the heroes of the story, and they won't have to kill boars for tusks...over...and over...and...

For the last 7 years, D&D has been roll dice or use OPTIONAL point buy system. For the first time in its history, D&D is putting the point buy first. That is the big deal. This is a slaying of one of the "Sacred Cows". Each time one is killed, people say I am never playing the game again, and...

No offense, but I honestly do not think WOTC would risk D&D like that. As you saw, I was a big anti-GWA commentor. I have very good reasons for it too. I am still concerned that extensive built in fluff could backlash on the artsy DMs who like to homebrew. WOTC has even acknowledge this in...

She said you still can roll dice. Honestly, I think most people use the point buy system once they get serious groups together. Nearly every group through our store does. WOTC just made the game system more balanced by doing that. Everything else we have seen with the rules so far has felt like...

It brings new gamers by putting story and cool ideas along with easy to use rules in their hands. So, you have bright, colorful covers with cool, eye catching imergy that gets them to pick it up. Then while flipping through the book, they are read intersting story hooks, pieces of fluff, looking...

I have a concern that I would like feedback on. I would like to do the finalists as a poll, but want to prevent unscrupulous voters creating fake accounts to pad the finalist they favor. Is there a way to restrict it as one vote per IP that anyone knows of?

I wants me some Dark Sun (original box set style) too.

If a new campaign setting with the same production values as Eberron was released for 4e, would you buy it? Would you play it? Would you buy it only from WOTC, what if a 3rd party released it? Check the poll :) When referring to level of quality, I mean art, layout, graphic design, writing...

I find it interesting that the poll shows new blood starts playing the game with each new edition. There is little to no 35+ players that started playing with 3rd or 2nd edition, but plenety of 12-25 and some 25-35. It means new editions bring in blood. Another factor, the percentages with each...

I know there are people still arguing the subjective nature of the GWA issue. I think we are past that honestly. It amazes me it is still debate, when the facts are clear that this is the first time game mechanics have been this tied to fluff outside of a campaign setting book. I said earlier...

Yes, I do own a game store. Yes I would like to make sure we are ready for Tuesday. Our tracking info says they are in route still and deliver tomorrow. I would prefer to get them earlier because when this happens and street date is broken, we can't react by selling them. Also, if there is a...

Ryan Dancey's review of TSR and its sales showed that all of the settings had done a splintering of the D&D market and divided up the sales. What wasn't shown accurately was that the splintering was also caused by TSR's focus on publishing for DMs instead of players. Almost everything that...

Scott, I thought the release date was the 18th? When are the FLGS here in the states getting them?

This edition is aiming to compete with MMOs yes, but not by joining them, by streamlining D&D and playing its strengths against the weaknesses of MMOs. D&D 4e is embracing roleplaying, story, fluff and drama, questing as a means for advancing, heroic focus adventure focused on the players. They...
