We will continue our game of a retread of Forge of Fury. The PCs are exploring a cavern complex filled with trogs and stirges. What better? As to our toast, well, its going to be either Fat Tire or Mirror Pond because we can't stand gin. Alas. Edit: And, I'm on the poster. Thank you so much...

Thank you Gary. Your game, which my parents had a love / hate relationship with, kept me out of more trouble and developed my mind more than any of us could imagine. You had a great impact in my life, despite the fact that I never met you. Thanks again, and I hope to see you in Valhalla. - Erich

You have laws?

Thanks Rodrigo, I appreciate your taking the time to tell us your experiences. My initial impression is that I may have to rename the eladrin, "Hasturs".

With my experience with SWSE, this is not the case. All heroic characters are competent in every skill and excel in a select few. Everyone can ford the stream, but only the swimmers can reach the wreck. Everyone has a chance to sneak past the bored guard, but only the rogues can slip inside the...

I'll buy the three, but I'm not going to pre-order. I don't want to pony up the money this far in advance. I'll probably buy an extra PHB that I can annotate freely.

Wow, I've never even heard of it before this thread.

I'm most interested in warlocks and clerics. I'm very interested in how classes that make agreements with otherworldly entities work and what benefits exist for other classes.

My son's adding skills have certainly improved.

I'll have to read the rules first. WotC have yet to put out really anything substantive as a preview, with the possible exception of the elf racial write-up. Given the paucity of information how could I possibly make in informed decision? I don't think is says much of them that three...

Nope. My group buys minis for PCs, usually Reaper. For NPCs I use those glass beads that are flat on one side. I was interested in them at one time but (A) packs are random and (B) stirges and gricks were uncommons at the time and way too expensive to get six or so of each.

I voted for Eberron as it helped me facillitate a Dune style game.

Oh come on, the Robocrats can't hold a candle to the Zimbabwe Cubist Revivalists. Look at the pixels, man!

As did I, but I think that the 3e DMG implied that it was either desireable or necesary to go the whole nine yards. And, in order to have +X Sense Motive you had to be a Y level Commoner, which in turn implied Z. From what little we've read about the 4e DMG I think that they are going to...

Rock on, Azgulor. Fundamental change strongly affects the passionate. I would like to think that we here pick up hammers less often than elsewhere, but I realize that may not be the case.

Blasphemer! Actually, I think you are the first gamer I've known who has ever uttered that statement. Most gamers I've come across are attracted to red hair, with a passing few neutral. I always thought it was a genetic linkage: gamer => attracted to red hair.

Jon, Ari, thanks for your comments. I appreciate them greatly. As I look over my shelves I have a number of adventures that I enjoyed running or playing in 1e and I wonder how well they would translate to 4e. My question to y'all is, how difficult would it be to write these adventures in 4e...

Thought of another one. Brother Dog is a god of Balastor near the Lunar Empire in Glorantha. He is worshipped out of gratitude due to the gift of his bretheren to help man. In return, initiates of the cult pledge to give aid and shelter his children (aka have them as pets and hunting dogs).

I think that's a reasonable assumption. A first level wizard has the choice of magic missle, sleep or shield. A fifth level wizard has the additional choices fireball, fly or blink. I imagine that the 4e wizard will have similar choices. They may have lesser options that they never use unless a...

??? I see, you see the conflict in 3.Xe as fundamentally against the five main alignments. If you had a PoL setting, or any other style of setting, there would be continual strife regardless of the power level of the PCs. If the PCs defeated another "side" (say, Chaos defeats Law) there would...
