Ptolus, hands down. Though not the product on the list I used the most, the overall quality of the product is without peer. jolt

If all it were about was hanging with friends then the edition becomes irrelevant. In this context, 4.0 is no better a choice than 4E or 3.x or Basic or Ars Magica or whatever. In fact, if it was just about hanging out with friends, one would think you'd stick with the familiar so you'd have...

If they're happy with what they have, why should they have to do any conversion at all? I'm not so sure about that. With every new edition you lose people; especially if the changes are dramatic. It may not be a lot but it's there. When 2E came out, you lost the people who wanted to stay...

I bow in your newly august presence. jolt

Thumbs down for me. I like some of the "game-bloat" they've gotten rid of but that's about it. I like the promise of more balance between classes at different levels but have seen nothing to back that claim up. Too little time between editions. Too much $ invested in 3.X; unwilling to do so...

We've wrapped up our 3.5 campaign and will not be switching to 4E. Likely, we will not be playing D&D for our fantasy needs anymore. None one in our group has been impressed enough by 4E to consider a switch but since we were thinking of moving away from D&D anyway, 4E just hastened the...

Just for the record, while everyone else was saying that, I [bravely] stood up for you. :D jolt

I voted no. One of the main reasons I had initially left AD&D for was that I came to hate the notion of different level progressions for different classes. For one, most players tended to take whatever was strongest even if it meant slower leveling (weak classes were usually only taken by...

I find this interesting because of how much wargames have changed over the years as well. Gone are the days of companies putting out hex-based maps with hundreds of little cardboard counters. I've had some awesome games of Twilight Imperium, Shogun, War of the Ring etc. But none of them...

An excellent example of why this is a bad name for a feat. Why isn't it called Billy-Joe-Bubba's Gambit? Presumably Robilar was famous enough to have such a maneuver/tactic whatever named after him. Unfortunately, in my world, this wouldn't be true. So not only does the name provide no...

I don't care for the colorful names either. Colorful descriptors should generally be setting specific and left out of purely game mechanic areas. I don't need or want "Harmonious Rhythm of the Dancing Wave" just to say "dodge". However, this isn't something I'd classify as a concern...

More powerful is not the same thing as too powerful. Is ToB: Bo9S too powerful? Eh. Is it more powerful than Core 3 Books only? Absolutely. If you read ToB: Bo9S and don't come away with that then you've skipped something. Is that "more power" needed? Maybe/ maybe not, but that wasn't the...

Or 3 months (1/4 of a year) if you count "First chance to play 4E" at the beginning of February. If they're still making design changes at that point, they're cutting it awfully close in terms of editing, printing and distributing. Because if WotC, or any other company for that matter...

I agree that it will but not in a good way. By their own admission, things have changed since the playtests of the summer about which many of the design notes in the December books are based. As a result, what info we get may, or may not, reflect aspects of the game that have since changed or...

As you can see from my info, I'm generally a lurker. However, except for a few initial posts, I now avoid the 4E section entirely. And even with my lurking, I'm concentrating less on D&D and more on general discussion, non-system/setting specific threads, etc. I'll often respond to poll...

Nor should you. I sincerely apologize if my post/questions gave that impression even the slightest bit. That wasn't my intention at all. jolt

Also working for me on IE 7, Windows XP. jolt

Of the three listed, for RPG purposes, Dwarves. Hate elves in rpg's. Most rpg's portray them as just prettier, longer-lived, better-than-you-at-everything humans (oh, and don't forget the Spock ears). jolt

All of them except C4 and C5. I don't even recognize the names and I still have all my old 1E modules. Interesting. jolt

Emphasis mine. Sorry to quote such an old post but I would have (and still would) pay a lot of money for a complete Greyhawk world. A shame that the IP for Oerth didn't revert to you (especially since WotC clearly has no intention of doing anything with it). Greyhawk is the only published...
