I'm not sure if you've tried an MMO before, but... there are a lot more abilities in WoW than in D&D 4e. Part of the problem would be the level limit of course (1-30 doesn't leave a lot of advancement room), but number of powers is not it. If you look at any of the WoW user interface...

You know, it may not have been very popular, and certainly had bugs galore, but Temple of Elemental Evil was 3.5. It was as close as I could imagine a game getting. It was turn based, had move/attack/5' step, it was nice I thought.

I had fun in the beta, but no one else wanted to stick with it in my group, so I lapsed. I've known a few folks that dabbled with it this year and say it's world of difference now, much improved. I'm just not sure if the early games "problems" are hindering the game's current status. (Same...

Internet reception of Hunter: the Reckoning was mixed, but I have no idea how well it sold. Towards the end of oWoD, you could see that WW had way overproduced some things. First they had their 6.66 sale, which lasted a lot longer than initially seemingly intended. (And, which gave me reason...

I don't know why you put your text in spoiler tags, so I didn't read it. The thing with 4e's "race matters over all levels" was that it was a contrast to "3e races are unimportant" because they only gave upfront abilities. A dwarf's stability is always an ability in 3e, but they said it didn't...

Because some of the builds that may be suboptimal fit the character concept the player is working towards better than the optimized, but regimented, nature of 4e's "flattening the power curve". It narrowed the breadth of what types of character were there, by defining roles more stringently...

A lot of the reinvention didn't appeal to me at first and I haven't followed it since. I wish them luck, but I let dragon/dungeon lapse before the changeover so I have no interest in their work. If you went back, you'd see they did what they said, and said what they did. Maybe they didn't give...

Just to be clear, you use the word "accuracy", but that's not true. The "math is simpler" with a smaller percentage simply because those polls have a bigger margin of error. A larger percentage poll is more accurate due to a smaller margin of error, but then the m-o-e must be calculated with...

My main problem here is; 1) Like many film adaptations, it's not as much what they cut, as them cutting some stuff to add new stuff which doesn't do much for me. 2) The layout in 4e is horrible, IMO. Too much white space, the art (which I don't care for, but don't find horrible like the OP) is...

The "added math" is to account for the larger sampling having a smaller margin of error... in other words, more accurate. While obviously hyperbole, a smaller margin of error is not "completely irrelevant to the accuracy...". Either way, taking a poll from ENWorld and applying it to D&D Fanbase...

I made a "how D&D 4e failed me" post a while ago. Mostly it's just a matter of venting, partly looking for reassurance or fixes (both of which come up lacking, people just say "you're wrong" and move on a lot of times). Part of it also the hope that if there's enough expression of the sentiment...

900 votes? I'm not even sure that's representative of what ENWOrld thinks, let alone what the players overall think. You know it's anecdotal, and you also already remarked in this thread about dismissing Internet "evidence". (While disregarding amazon ranking and such of course.) Integrity is...

I was a big FR fan at the time, and remember how much folks hated that arbitrary reshuffling and smashing of the realms. It's a little disappointing that the current realms only escalate the changes, but then I haven't really been into the world that much for it to matter. I will say that...

It was okay, fun to have the show back, but it's seemed a bit bland so far. Might just be my lack of interest in tv lately.

I'll put the obvious problem of naming a movie Innsmouth and then making it about homosexuality out there... For the movie itself, it definetly looks made-for-tv, and I haven't seen any deep ones or anything, so eh. I think they just don't like the bitter endings of a lot of the lovecraftian...

The old way made sense to me, Lolth made her failures useful to her. The driders were looked down on, but were thrust to the fringes of the cities and served some purpose. The new driders are okay also, no big deal. It does make it odd to have them be a reward, since it raises the question then...

From the thread title, I clicked to read if they had made driders into spider torso/head creatures with the lower body of a drow chick or something...

Let me say, I'm not the biggest Necro fan, though I know plenty, but I am an Ari fan, so thanks for helping this product! I don't think 3P support is crucial to the success of D&D, but I do think when done well, it contributes to the overall community spirit of D&D. 3P guys like yourself are...

I think there was plenty of ways to scale back the Realms, with it feeling more like "the realms" progression. Sure advance the storyline 50-100 years, have a war or five, maybe the gods have a war too or maybe some god finds a way to break Ao and the planes are thrown into chaos. (Though, I...

The time loops were okay, either way, though the movie didn't explain it very well. The movie also left out details that would have made more sense overall and kind of felt jumpy. A lot of folks didn't like magic without wands, but that wasn't a big deal to me. Goblet of Fire was the worst...
