Exactly. Which is why you should bow out of the game now, instead of whining at the GM about his choices. Better to leave now than have you at the table whining. That said, the witches in the "Witch World" series by Andre Norton could use magic in armor. In fact, they used the best mail they...

And who needs healing potions when you have moonshine?

How about a magic user that gets no at-will, encounter or daily powers, but lots and lots and lots of rituals? We could even say they can perform rituals at 1/10th the component price. The OP would be cool with that, because this is all about making spellcasters that are more evocative and...

Hero has hit points- actually two types of hit points, representing Stun and Body damage. This represents the comic book and action genre pretty well, in that people often get hit and stunned or knocked out, but it's fairly rare to take a potentially lethal wound. Let's see.... Star Wars/D6...

No, it's not the same thing at all. If my character is lost in a dungeon, then that's part of the character's adventure- it becomes just yet another challenge to surmount. If my character dies, that's it for that character, and that's it for any story that I tell with the character. It's also...

The main difference I've seen is that my wife actually found character creation in 4E to be fun. She liked to make characters in AD&D, but character creation in 3.X was like pulling teeth for her, to the point where she pretty much hated having anything to do with the character sheet. All of...

Those criteria are indeed absolute. And those criteria say I'm cool. So, since I'm cool, and I think the Dragonborn and Tieflings are cool, that then means they are cool. So you can relax and play with confidence, knowing that your Tiefling wizard is indeed cool. Or, you can simply not...

Crime. In the upcoming 4E game I'm in, our group of wannabe crime lords are going to be competing with other Thieve's Guilds for a slice of the pie in a major city. My Warlord, a former minion, is tired of taking orders and wants to accumulate wealth and power with the goal of taking over...

You know, I wonder if the mods could just set up a "4E D&D Sucks/Doesn't Suck" megathread where all posts comparing D&D to D&D or extolling/complaining about 4E would be sent. It could be stickied at the top of the page as well. That way, those people looking to debate whether 4E is good or...

The main problem is you would probably be subject to people accusing you of ripping Warhammer 40K off. Originality is hardly a high priority in our hobby. Change the name and serial numbers and you can have a highly successful critter.

Hmm. They own a couple properties that might be worth looking into, especially Tog, Bloodshadows and D6. One might be able to set D6 as a rules-light generic system to compete with Mutants and Masterminds, or GURPS, or set it up as a pulpy contender to Spirit of the Century or Savage Worlds...

Are you sure it's not new D&D is is 4th Edition Coke?

I'm happy enough about this decision; this means that Green Ronin will be concentrating more on Mutants and Masterminds and True20. Getting as much product for those systemsout on the shelves as possible is a good thing. It's a pitty that Green Ronin isn't like hero games, which pretty much...

This is my complete lack of surprise. I really wish Green Ronin well in copncentrating on their flagship products. I'm especially looking forward to seeing more Mutants and Masterminds and True20 products in the future.

Did he go there? Oh yeah, he went there. I'm sorry everyone, the current topic for this thread will have to be put on hold, while we pile on the Firefly hater.

Well there's an argument for them to get over it, soonest. Aren't you the guy who wears the Viking hat? instead of coddling them, you need to slap them a few times, slam them into their seats and roar "YOU WILL PLAY WITH WHOEVER I TELL YOU TO PLAY WITH!" Do it! It's good for them. If...

Honestly, if you're offended, you might want to step back and really look at your post. I could have used humans, or dolphins, or whatnot; the point still stands that the original post is pretty damn ridiculous. Seriously guy, this isn't the 1960s any more. You can treat individuals like...

Black gamers: Weal or woe? ________________________________________ Having played d&d almost exclusively with an all white group, the concept of a black gamer is somewhat foreign to me. In the dozen or so sessions I've played with black players, I've found that black gamers, by virtue of their...

I've only seen it done a couple times where it was actually enjoyable for the other players. Usually though, the prankster targets either the other player characters in order to annoy the players, or he targets the NPCs in order to cripple the mood of the game. So, it can be done well, but...

I think that's a big part of it. I think also the film was billed as a comedy "schlub hero turns his life around" film, and half-way through it turned into something very different.
