subscriber, and I love it. The main thing for me? The integration of the dragon mags and splats into the compendium and (I assume) the character builder. This means that the stuff in dragon actually sees play, which was always a hassle with the paper versions. (and I don't seem to have the...

Currently the games I play in are at a pub. Since I think it's immoral to go into a pub and not have a beer, I generally have 2-3 pints of Guiness over the evening. IIRC, most the other players have a couple of alcoholic drinks, with a couple of others sticking to water/tea/soft drinks. I...

Are you saying that this is an 'issue' that is only seen online, not actually in a game? ;)

So this is OK in 1e, but not in 4e?

Arroooo? If you describe any combat result as a specific result ("gut wound, slashed arm", etc.), you open yourself up to absurd results. For example, if a 50hp fighter is brought down to 1hp, you could describe the blow as a "brutal slash across your chest, opening a bloody gash". Said...

Cross-posted from email to Tallarn (my GM) I'm creating my character Right Now IYKWIMAITYD. [/hong] This is a lot better than I was expecting. bravo wizards, thats my DDi sub paid for itself right then and there.

Signs and Portents The Prophecy of House Aellrinnath, as recounted by Karl il-Tanith ter-Aellrinnath. I dreamed. I dreamed of a land of Ice and Steel. I saw the Old King, his heart twisted and poisoned by lies. I saw his son seduced and destroyed by the promise of knowledge long kept hidden...

Well, the various versions of D&D fulfilled my needs from a D&D-type game -at the time. I loved playing D&D 1e and 2e - then those games began to stagger under the weight of all the house rules we created to make it more suitable, as our requirements changed. Then 3e came out and addressed...

Quite true. But Raw =/= Usable.

Pssst! Your Shtick is showing!

It's probably a better idea to report a post you believe is inappropriate than be rude.

Dude, next you're going to have us drop "passive-aggressive", and what will we do then?

As is naturellement, "older is better", and "not jumping on the bandwagon"...

I suspect you encounter a great deal of disappointment then.

I really think you're reading a bit much into this.

Like he said. Thanks Gothmog - those are some really interesting ideas! Cheers

And that strikes me as a perfectly rational explanation. And if I'm reading Hussar right, so does he.

That's an interesting view. I'm not sure that I agree 100% with this, but it's not completely without merit. Of course, as others (obryn?) have noted, the examples of this would be vanishingly small - most DMs would say "I don't want dragonborn/elves/furries because they are...
