I didn't mean to come across so badly, the question was mostly snark. But as a player of all the editions, I see 3rd Edition D&D as the continuation of 2nd Edition AD&D. There was nothing I saw that really made me feel BECMI in 3rd Edition. Maybe I'm wrong, but again it was just my opinion...

Don't say you're giving up Sosaria! I loved your stuff for that world.

So where was 2nd Edition D&D?

Well to be truthful, OD&D/BECMI have nothing to do with his argument. 1st Edition begat 2nd Edition which begat 3rd Edition which begat 4th Edition. Where do you want to fit OD&D in there? 4th Edition is the fourth edition of AD&D, by virtue of its nomenclature. Therefore, like AD&D, or 1st...

Well if I didn't need to do much to get the desired effect in earlier editions I believe it shows a clear amount of power escalation. I don't like high-power campaigns until later levels. I actually enjoy starting games at 0 level to give the characters a chance to decide their fates in game...

Well, that's why I want to hear more. Mind you I had to do some work in most of the editions to get the play I want. It just looks to me (from my limited knowledge of course) that instead of house-ruling 4th Edition, I would have to eviscerate it to get the desired effect. I'm holding off on...

I don't want to be the negative nelly here but I'll repost a post I made on another board: "I was actually starting to move towards the 4e camp, but the news from the D&D Experience is making me think of cancelling my pre-orders. The power levels seem way too high; and we're talking 1st level...

I certainly won't be subscribing either. My main reason is that I loved Dragon / Dungeon and a bastardized electronic version will make me more bitter than anything else. The quality of those magazines were the work of a different company for one, and I can't really read anything on a...

That map is incredible. I really like that, and might find some way to use Mystarahawk some day. Thanks for the link!

I really like the purple bars in that one mockup. That one looks the best. Still, the horn on the dragon needs to go, it's silly.

I could be considered a grognard I think. I've played for almost 30 years, I love Greyhawk; those two alone should be sufficient for the title. Still, I don't mind the dragonborn. My only problem with the cover has sort of been mentioned. I want to see a party in action. If that party...

Now THAT looks like a Player's Handbook to me! I don't like these new covers much, but I can't quite put my finger on why. Maybe they're just not evocative enough.

My God it's the return of the War Duck!!!

The Fall of the Tiefling Empire involved a massive testosterone spill into the water supply. Today they still live with that horror.

Who? Do you know anyone? ;)

Maybe in the Points of Light world everyone is just really, really ugly. Beauty isn't a Points of Light concept. ;)

I myself want the Virtual Tabletop to use the old Gold-Box graphics.

Interesting, but there are some points I don't like. I'm a huge fan of rolling for HPs, this is still a game afterall, so I'll add that back in to the games I run. The skill list is very shallow. I'm a fan of the "useless" skills like the various knowledges, professions, and crafts. I need...

A good cinematic romp is always fun. I also enjoy more gritty adventures, I'm hoping that both can be done with the new edition.

As I learned in the old Dragon Can you be an Adventurer quiz (sorry don't remember the exact title any longer) the easiest way to find trap doors is to burn the place to the ground. Therefore I agree with you wholeheartedly. As to the main point of this thread, I've played in a reckless manner...
