Yeah, but it isnt correct out of the box! 4e PHB1 is almost a different game, and the red box is only 2 levels.

I would institute a rule where anyone tried to tell the young guy what to do, they would get a hammer to the face. Out of character :D Seriously tho, Hector, it seems like the kid is the most mature player you have. I would start having a rule where if anyone told another player what to...

The RAW is use it or lose it. The CB isnt the rules. On the other hand, all that is irrelevant. If you want to let the characters change, let them change. If you dont then dont. Just be up front about it right now. My personal opinion is that that retraining rules are pretty irrelevant. If...

Come on people! There is only one way to start a Space Opera: Getting chased by a Star Destroyer :D

My biggest problem is that anytime the DM is playing his character, he is playing with himself :) I am generally against it. As a DM I have better things to do that play an extra PC, but on the other hand, they are great way to get in exposition, and they are a great way to introduce story...

I punch you in the head and it explodes = internal. The force was never outside a body I use my mind to make your head explode = external. The force was applied from a distance Using the power of your body to lift a rock and crush someone = internal Using telekinesis to pick up the rock to...

I am sure everyone who plays L5R will be suprised to hear that they dont play an oriental themed game.

Ki: Samurai, Monk, Shugenga, Ninja There, was that so hard? Took me about 30 seconds. You would think that someone getting paid to think about this sort of thing might have been able to do that. As for those who think that Ki is the same as Psionic: Ki is an internal use of body and soul...

It is dependent on the actual temperature of the ice, but you would get some sublimation of the ice that then could fall as snow. It would be very small amounts, compared to what we see. If you had the entire Earth's oceans frozen in a second, it would prolly immediately explode into...

I would give you xp, but I gots to spread it around first. I agree wholeheartedly with this. I dont have anything particularly against the ruleset, it has some quirks that could use revising, but it is easy to run at least. It is the attitude that the management of D&D has consistently shown...

I do believe that the lack of setting support is a problem getting new players into D&D. It is made a much worse problem by the lack of good adventures. I doubt that many starting players are players coming into an established game/group. Alot of them are going to be someone who wants to try...

I did 3.x from 1st to 18th, one game from each side of the screen. Everyone died once, but no one at low enough level that it made a difference. Havent managed to get a 4e group to last to paragon levels. Each game has come apart at 7th-9th level. We do have a game that is not quite dead that...

Its been more than a year since I bought any 4e books. Just nothing worth the money. I was buying SAGA books, but that evaporated last spring. Since August, I have been doing Rogue Trader, so FFG has been getting pretty much all my gaming money.

Give your world a history. What prevented the prior incursions were the great heroes of myth and legend. There is always another group of heroes. This would be the reason that high level characters are so hard to find. After the 400th time that the wizard is interrupted by some problem that is...

If I were to figure it out beforehand, and wasnt allowed a good faith attempt to stop it, I would get really annoyed. Assuming I like the queen, otherwise I might not care. Have you thought of going Dark Knight on them and having the characters kill her? Heck, I might go all the way and...

This is pretty much my view. The only thing I would add is that the DM is playing the game too, and if he dosent like the game he should not have to play it either.

I call BS. Reading is in no way, shape or form the same as game playing. This isnt comparing apples and oranges, this is comparing apples to gamma ray bursts.

My rare minis disagree with your assesment.

I want to give WOTC hard earned dollars for quality role playing product. I cannot give WOTC hard earned dollars for quality role playing product. This situation is anomalous. Especially after a decade if purchasing many quality role playing products from WOTC. A method of intergamer...

If 45k is way on the low side, then the computer department at WOTC is pretty much guilty of fraud. If DDI is all you can put out with a yearly income up around $10 million, you have a massively huge problem. Even if it is 45K payers paying the minimum, that is still $3.24 mil. 10 staff at...
