Coming full circle back to the OP message it also seems to be a strong perception that the group you mentioned and I emphasized becomes the new target audience. I know I felt that way early on, but after a while I adopted more of this attitude: No one held a gun to my head and said "You must...

I hate to answer every question with "It depends", but honestly that is the answer for most. Because most of these depend on individual players and their ways of handling the issue of the question, but in general attempts to answer... Mostly GOOD, of my 3 players who attempted it in 3E, 2 did...

There is a "Mark forums Read" under quick links at the top that will mark the entire site as read. [I discovered it by accident myself, but it may be what you are looking for]

Don't forget Hater Trolls.

Making those 19 and 20. 21 a) 4E is NOT a role playing game 21 b) 4E is a board game 21 c) Anything can be a role playing game, even a board game like Monopoly.

Hmmm, I got one from RPGnow yesterday and 3 from DTRPG today. And when I went and looked today there is the original link now with 4 downloads left, and 3 more all with 5 downloads left. Sorry everyone, I guess they are giving me all your email links... hey don't point that thing at me, I...

Over on the WotBS web site, under the Free WotBS Resources links, the 1" battlemaps link for #1 links to the file for #2. The link for #2 also links to #2, and all the rest link to their respective counterparts as well.

I am no longer in the WotC target market either, and that is OK with both of us. Although I am 45, I don't think it is age based. I think it is just changing goals for recruitment and retention of customers. This has happened with other companies all the time and it is just the way of product...

Identical results here as well. Troubleshooting 101, we all think we are far too sophisticated and knowledgeable to need something that simplistic and basic... and damned if it doesn't sneak up and bite us in the butt every freakin time! (Even I thought it was stupid as I typed it in the last...

Yes, yes, and YES! My primary reason for playing D&D is to have fun. Actually that is a primary reason for most social things I do. AD&D is a ton of fun mainly because it has gaping mechanics holes that the (good) DM has to fill in. This makes for some very creative, interesting, and amusing...

It is also working for me from whatever level I am. What parameters did you use in your search that failed? I know you probably tried several; and it should not matter in the first place; but it can't hurt to duplicate exactly.

THIS mostly. I have had players that were risk takers WITH SoD firmly in place, and sometimes it paid off for them and sometimes it did not. Take away SoD and they escalate on the risk factor 10 fold! Your players may not, but some/most of mine would. There is also a flip side that seems to...

Comedy of errors As others have said, they usually do not matter, they usually affect me more than the players (forgetting to regen the troll, dropping continued spell damage, missing special attacks, etc.), and the tend to increase throughout the night as my players volunteer to get me another...

Through the years I have lost many a PC, but the two that come to mind immediately as bothering me the most were both hp damage death from the (stupid) mistakes of fellow players. They were not from save or die situations, they were not from an over zealous deathmonger DM, they were not even...

Indeed this is very player specific. I have had players who were emotionally attached to their just created 1st level PC's and others who shrugged off the death of their 14th level PC's as "oh well" and all possible reactions in between.

I know by today's mass response email onslaught driven world we live in that may seem the case, however there were ways to measure feedback even back then. You may be entirely right, but to totally dismiss ANY possible feedback simply because it does not measure up to today's overwhleming...

My OCD must be active tonight because the first thing I noticed was that the "Visit our sponsors" box was in a different place on the social side, and they are still closable. It does seem to be shaping up nicely though, I do prefer the slpit over the marathon single page. [That is purely me, I...

Interesting, perhaps on purpose to judge reaction and decide whether to make it official or not? I love a good mystery!

OH CRAP! I was fully thinking about you Bullgrit, and somewhere between brain and fingers the mention of your post got lost... I will go stand in the corner now.

Unfortunately I no longer have my AD&D books to reference, but I remember that was the method we used (per DM direction) in 1981 when I started playing. So it was either around then [as clearly noted by Plane Sailing] or my DM was ahead of the curve. :hmm:
