In my early years of gaming I saw so many Christmas Tree Effects in games that it must have been a good thing. "Every DM was doing it", or so it seemed. The DM in those games was the one in control of magic item acquisition. So, if there were a lot of magic items there was only one person you...

But did you scream, "No, Not Lady Knightstar! NO, NO! I'M GOING TO DIE!" If not, you couldn't have cared enough about the role-playing... ;)

For a new person that has never played the game this is not even possible. How could they know how it feels if they have never played it? Without having ever played the game how can they know what the system can do, that supposedly no other system can do? Nowadays, D&D sells because of the...

This seems exactly in line with what sheadunne had mentioned in an earlier post. These are "narrative" consequences (put in jail) to a "narrative" situation (disobeying NPC edict). Not mechanical consequences (losing PC clerical powers) to a narrative situation (disobeying an NPC). It is...

Bingo, well said. This is exactly my take on why the "classic" view of alignment as a "stick" is so counter to the game I want to play, or run.

If there ever was a "pot meet kettle" moment this must have been it.

I don't recall ever mentioning anything about a new edition being a lie. You might want to check your sources.

And because you don't recall it being an issue it obviously means that there wasn't one. Got it. Thanks for the input.

Good for you, obviously there was no problem for anyone then.

In the big scheme of things RPGs are not important. However, the fact that almost every spell had to be rechecked for accuracy makes the change quite important. It made it so that you had to go look up everything again. Because you could not be sure of what had changed or not. To me and my...

That right there is the problem. When you sit down with a Spaniard, an Italian, and a Portuguese from the get-go you expect that you will be speaking a different language. However, when you sit down to play a game, you expect that everyone will be speaking the same language. The changes...

Two years after the start of this thread, and six years after I started running games with this edition and I'm still having a blast running 4e games. I guess you can say, "I still lurvs me some 4e."

Most Daily powers do more damage on a hit, some do half damage on a miss, and a lot of them have additional rider effects. Even though there are some encounter powers that have some of these features, I really can't think of one that does all of them. Yes. PHB pg. 212 Larger creatures...

That is extremely good advise. From what I've seen on these boards over the last year, or so, it would be nice if some would take a hint and remained ForeverSilent. Sadly that is just tilting at windmills.

I think you misunderstand my decision.

Do you not understand how this attitude displays complete scorn and contempt for those that don't agree with you. Thanks for making it easy to make my decision.

Yep.

Yep, they were difficult to design, but sometimes somebody put the effort to make one that was exceptional. Lots of dross too, but that is to be expected. Lots of modding from the community also. Yep that was pretty sweet too, and the community could grade them. If there was something...

Neverwinter Nights was quite cool, but I agree it was no virtual tabletop. In addition creating adventures for it was quite time consuming and complex. It required scripting, crazy amounts of map work, and quite a bit of time to make something really interesting and compelling. The new...
