I'm going to resist listing how few of the listed criteria discount 4e. It's clearly not a choice for more than just the listed reasons, and I'll accept that. So... D&D 2nd Edition. You'll still have to pick and choose the books that work for you, as not everything likely will. Otherwise...

Interesting article. Some similarity to the trade city at the center of my homebrew campaign. Mine has more of a "strangers in a strange land" feel as it's a western fantasy city founded on the shores of an uncivilized tropical continent with a bloody history. I'll definately be looking to this...

I can't imagine paying for both the physical and digital versions. I was really disapointed when the "nominal fee PDF" we were supposed to get when we purchased physical books got the axe. That said I'm finding the searchability and portability of PDF's on a netbook alluring enough that I may...

I already replied earlier, but I thought of another wish: Magnetic. Maybe a thin sheet of metal in the core? I dunno... but something that magnetic counters would be attracted to (even if it wasn't a tight grip) would be neat.

The visualizer was only so cool as it worked with the VTT, but then again... I've gotten over the 3D game table and really wish they'd just officially license (or buy) fantasy grounds with some additional rules integration as I think it better recreates the tabletop feel and allows for different...

I have a huge selection of RIFTS, and some Palladium Fantasy stuff. I've played a little, but quickly learned that I disliked the rules just as much as I loved the setting concepts. As far as crunch goes... I'd put it right in line with D&D (any edition in my mind). That is.. more crunchy than...

Agreed. I just started a game at 4th level using the above rules. Definately more magic items floating around the table than the previous group got for levels 1 through 3.

Sweet! I so wish Pathfinder were my game. I so dig the style of the art.

I track damage on paper or a blank sheet of laminated paper with a wet-erase marker, rather than paint on my minis. I use tiny little round stickers (the smallest dots they sell in office supply places to mark manilla folders) to mark various minis of the same design. I use Alea Tools miniature...

Other implements use the weapon slot. Shields use the arm slot. The precident exists for class specific gear to use up an existing slot... I don't know that I like the idea of holy symbols skirting that precident and giving divine characters an "extra" slot. I'm fine with standard symbols...

Paint quality and sculpt interest were sketchy when the minis line first started, but the portability and cost was enough to get me buying... then the quality rose (pretty sharply imho) and I was more than happy to pay increased prices for the quality... The past couple sets have felt, with a...

One year subscription, purchased. I was holding off until they deliverd something of greater use to me than the magazines. This is it. I know they are reigning in expectations, but I still have hopes for continued development of existing and planned apps. I need more info on the 5 activations...

It took me ages to convert from hexes to squares and I very much doubt I'd spend significant money on hexes again. I definately want tact-tiles though. I was hoping to get some before... but I was holding out for wet-erase compatible. I'm not a fan of dry erase. As for color. I'm partial to the...

I have to say they made it significantly easier to pull magic items out almost completely (something I'm sort of toying with for a campaign of my own). A static bonus to hit, damage and all defenses and you're pretty much there. But putting back in the reliance on magic items requires a little...

It is probably too late in the thread to offer a long winded opinion and have it be read by anyone. Too bad. The issue for me is that they've wasted time on minor applications or gimicky elements that I don't think I or the folks I game with even care about. The character generator is awesome...

I use the default setting; and will continue to do so so long as it remains generic enough for me to mold it to my vision. I *love* my take on the default setting. I'm sure it would put others to sleep, but it keeps me happy. :)

I'm definately happy with the new plan for D&D minis. I am about full up on humans dwarves and elves. It'll be nice to get what I need: monsters. And just pick up PCs as needed. The metal ones linked here are amazing... as are those from other companies. If only I could paint like that.

I've read through the first couple of adventures of each and, while I accept that everyone says it gets better later on, some of the dungeons still feel like odd compilations of monsters. I could be way off base, but... after wasting folks' time here in this thread, am leaning toward salvaging...

Thanks for the feedback thus far (more would be awesome). I get to run games so infrequently that I'm really hoping to run a memorable campaign. I'm leaning toward the published adventures currently, possibly with some slimmed down Dragon adventures in between as suggested. I don't run XP by the...

Anyone who has access to both the scales of war adventures and the published modules (keep on the shadowfell, etc..) care to offer a comparison? Which seems to have the better storyline? Which feels the least railroaded? Which offers up the most interesting encounters? Which do you think seems...
