Years of DM'ing have taught me that ultimately, people have no idea what they really want, and left to themselves, it ends up leading to a whole bunch of heartbreak. :-p

I don't think a poll that is functionally saying "we are the single biggest reason for the tenor of the D&D community, and, with that, the following fall of D&D as a whole" is going to go over well here. Leave it this way; if folks are aware enough to understand this is an actual problem...

I can look online, but most of these have come over drinks near or at the LGS. Living in Bellevue / the Seattle area often means you end up interacting with many folks on a personal level. (For instance, Chris Sims' brother is a frequent visitor of some of my roommates, and thus, they know...

There is a lot of legitimate beef between Paizo and WotC due to how things were handled with 4E. Maybe they'd struggle their way back to something if 5E was a super super resounding success, but the few Paizo employees I've talked to...not so much.

I think there are a couple of other factors as well 1) DDI -- regardless of what people may think about it, this is a big concern. Although bottled water and various other pay programs show that it is possible to compete with free with very high quality; due to the nature of the fanbase of...

I believe he is primarily working on designing adventures; WotC adores him, and I would be very surprised if he is let go.

That's the purpose of the internet, not life. Right? <gulp>

no no, there are lots of hot nerdy girls (I live in Seattle, so nerd mecca ftw)...there are just no single hot nerdy girls. Though I'm finding surprising luck with Library Science majors. Just saying.

As someone who has DM'd 4th 2x a week (at least) for four years... If I'm chasing down the wizard, any remotely tactical group of players is going to eat me alive with Opportunity attacks and combat advantage based attacks. Slowing, dazing, knocking enemies prone, immobilizing, on top of a...

But, but, what am I going to do with all of the various nerf bats of dewm and death I have to hit everyone with? WHAT IS MY PURPOSE IN LIFE NOW IF NOT TO CRITICIZE OTHERS FOR THEIR BELIEFS IN ORDER TO VALIDATE MY OWN BELIEFS?????

Welcome to nailing what I personally believe is the biggest difference between 3E and 4E. It's why I'm often confused by my friends who love 3E, don't like 4E for its "mechanics", and then are often left just angry when I point out that 3E had the same thing, just hidden behind walls. That...

Huh. For me, due to the openness of 4E, I tend to use Rule Zero far more effectively in 4E then I could ever pull it off in 3E. I get to do the "frak it, this sounds way cooler" effect in 4E (due to the improvised DC / damage tables) then I ever could in 3E. Any application of Rule Zero in 3E...

Considering how this thread is going, I'm thoroughly convinced we're the tumor on RPGs. Then again, the polarization of this country in the last 15-20 years is nothing new, it started in politics, and with the connected echo chamber that is the internet, it just blew up.

Ironically enough, the mini in that last picture is a Star Wars Miniature -- Force Adept

It's like playing Batman in a mutant game...except your group is Thor, the Hulk, Phoenix, and Superman. Martial not being magical is fine, but then you run into the 3rd edition issue (and Pathfinder has the same issue) where you are chopped liver past 11th level as a martial character. I've...

Is anyone else having trouble with the links? I click on them, and then it just takes me to the home page of all EN forums. One of my long term projects is to rewrite the entire module from start to finish with MM3 updates / clearing up encounter issues.
