My purely hypothetical guess is that the wizard's abilities would be more academically focused, and that his talent trees might be along the lines of schools. The sorcerer on the other hand I see as being more in tune with his heritage, in other words schools might mean nothing to him but...

Oops! You're quite right about the barbarian, I oversimplified. The statement I read about the sorcerer was not in one of the blogs but on the Gencon report on WotC's site. Howndawg

I think ENWorld will survive just fine. I think most of the posters here enjoyed 1E and 2E, currently play 3E, and are looking forward to 4E. Howndawg

What I would love to see is a Greyhawk setting with a first edition feel; forget about everything that happened in the world since EGG left and put out a supplement that captures the feel of the golden age of AD&D. This might bring some old grognards back into the fold. Howndawg

I for one would really love to see a BG: DA III. Howndawg

Mongoose will survive. They have RQ and Traveller which are not OGL/d20, B5 and Conan which are OGL, and miniature games which are doing quite well. Green Ronin, too. M&M + True20. Privateer, too. Warmachine and Hordes are much too big. Troll Lords I wonder about. If WotC makes a move with...

I think the computer elements are there for two reasons: First, to keep players in the game. If I were to move to a new town where either a) there were no gamers, b) I don't fit in with any of the gaming groups, or c) all the DM's are incompetent morons, chances are I won't be playing D&D...

This is what I've picked up through tidbits: Barbarian: Mentioned in an interview as being a barbarian, not a berserker. Berserker and bear warrior concepts come later in his career. Bard: Not a peep. Cleric: Mentioned quite frequently. Druid: I didn't hear anything, but someone else on...

One thing you'll notice if you look at the history of the game is that with every new edition of D&D, new gamers are brought into the fold and old ones leave. This is in part because not only does each new edition improve upon the system, but also because each new edition has a different design...

A 7 for me. I've been burned out on 3.x for a couple of years now. If they do make it less gear dependent as I've heard, it'll be a great step in the right direction. Howndawg

Check out: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=welcome/conventions/gencon07 In the section D&D Overload by Bart Carroll, he mentions wizards and sorcerers growing apart. I can't remember where I read the comment about Barbarians. I think it was something by Andy Collins, but don't...

What classes have been mentioned so far? I've heard Barbarians, Clerics, Fighters, Paladins, Rangers, Rogues, Sorcerers, and Wizards. The last two were mentioned today on WotC's GenCon report. There has also been mention of a Warlord class, as to whether this is an all new class, a PrC, or a...

Or play C&C, Conan, True 20, etc. Heck, there are even some grognards out there playing 1e and 2e! Howndawg

I suspect what they might do is to have either class abilities or feats which allow characters to activate crits a set number of times per encounter. Thus, for example, if Mighty Hrothgar rolls a 20 against a measly goblin warrior who is probably going to bite it anyway, he can save his crit...

26. Play Elder Scrolls and convert your character into 3.5. 27. Play Two Worlds and convert your character into 3.5. 28. Imagine how you would convert your Elder Scrolls character into 4. 29. Imagine how you would convert your Two Worlds character into 4. Howndawg

I started out in junior high playing AH, SPI, and Metagaming games. One day while looking at the games on the shelf of my local hobby store, I picked up a game with a picture of a wizard and a fighter in combat with a dragon. This was the Holmes boxed set. I could not make heads or tales...

I want info every five minutes! Heck, I want to know everything NOW! Howndawg

I get that too. Or perhaps race specific feats and talent trees. Or maybe both. Howndawg

Amen to the wealth by level bit. As a DM, it was hard to manage because I had one player who was always getting in trouble with the law and lost most of his money and some of his items to the town guards. Howndawg

I don't totally dislike magic items: they have their place. But I like my fighter to kick hiney because he is a kick hiney swordsman, not because he has a kick hiney sword. Although a kick hiney sword doesn't hurt. In other words, I want magic items to complement a character, not...
