I was actually looking for help, just making a response to the "you can use pre essentials material just fine" comments. I disagree with that. And I do appreciate the help, I am looking at the heroes of books, seeing if I can use those, but I don't think I can use pre essentials material or...

In the game there are feats that add a bonus to all weapons in a group and a diierent feat to add to just one weapon. That's not balanced.

I appreciate the input, I understand not everything is broken before essentials but wizards never made an effort to clean up things they know are bad, like essentials classes and pre essentials attack bonus tax feats, and unless it came out very recently, no errata on mm1 only the essentials...

There was a discussion on this forum about that topic. Pathfinder while based in the d20 system is just that, a different d20 game. Just with similar named classes, that don't even function the same with the crank turned to 11. Fun? Sure, DnD? If they said they were DnD there would be a lawsuit.

My friends and I still play DnD but when I go to my local game store they don't carry anything dungeons and dragons, except 4th edition which they sell at 1/4th price because they say, "no one ever buys it" and when I do buy it they try to talk me out of handing them my money "are you sure you...

I think essentials being a bit more unpopular is going to make getting content for it hard. But I appreciate the advice so far. There are things I like from previous books but I am afraid of opening the flood gates of complication and imbalance by taking them. DnD just has a history of making...

So I just opened heroes of the fey wild and it looks like its entirely a non essentials style book. Am I wrong there? I see that they use the subclasses like essentials but stick to the old aedu system for every class and loose the this is what you get at each level part. Am I wrong?

My group played 4e from before the books came out, when all we had was keep on the shadowfel, we had a lot of fun learning the new system, but we didn't play constantly at the time so progress was a bit slow. We were starting thunder spire when phb 2 came out. This was the beginning of the end...

Have you looked at 4e tomb of horrors? On the first page it states that it is nothing like the original and no where near as hard. It makes that clear.

I appreciate all of the input and especially the understanding in the room that there is just more than one way to have fun. I own osric, gurps 3 and 4, DnD O, basic, 1, 2, 3, and 4. But never tried runequest or some of the other systems you brought up. I will look at them and see what I think...

The central story line of lord of the rings was noncombat can 2 halflings survive the day to day struggles of hunger sore muscles injury and the weighty oppression of the one ring and simply survive a walk, not about one combat encounter to the next. Dragonlance, after escaping the inn of the...

I understand and respect that, it's a different play style, focused on action or encounter aspects of the game. But that focus shift takes away from the game I want to play, a dungeon exploration resource management game. Sure it's different than what many people in this forum like but it is...

I wanted to get opinions about something that I see as a barrier between me and newer editions of the game. Every new edition and expansion moves farther from a gritty dungeon delve game to more flashy action. I am not here to make an edition war so I will be specific. I want to be able to use...

Does anyone know of a translation of the world setting of forceria? I know its in the sword world rpg book which only costs 8 dollars, but I do not read japanese. I appreciate any help in getting this setting. Thank you for your time.

What I am seeing is so many people who jump to the guns so fast as soon as they see someone who says anything bad about the game they play. This did not happen when there was just 3.x edition. Back then I could say "The duskblade class is broken I hate it" and we could move on. Now if I...

I am building a world setting for my real life players in a GURPS 4E rules set. I am going to post my ideas as I come up with them here to see if anyone can help with those minor problems that always come up. Today guns. Its not a rules issue, its setting, I would like a traditional fantasy...

Ok if your saying that balance is important because some bad players can not work as a team and treat other players as sidekicks I can totally buy that. Thank you for clearing it up. I agree but I do not like playing with those guys and go out of my way to form groups I can trust when I can.

I am sorry could you explain this better because I do not understand. I get that your saying people are not perfect but because we are not perfect the system has to make all tanks balanced? If my group has a fighter, mage, priest, and rogue, why do they all have to be balanced against each other...
