There are still people who claim this. In fact, comparing 4e-3.x changes to 2e-1e ones does a very weak favor to 4e :p Is 4e a complete game with just the 3 core books? Yes, it is. Has 4e got the same options as 3.x for PCs with just the 3 core books? No, it hasn't. But still, RC has way too...

Yes, it is :)

D&D Spanish translations are really good. It's just the Forgotten Realms names which were awfully translated.

Nowadays in Spain, the main game is D&D, with Devir going fully 4e (funny how the same company can have so much different policies in different countries -Spain and Brazil-). In fact, Devir went 4e before WotC, deciding to stop publishing 3.5 products when 4e was announced back in 2007. Fantasy...

Hey, what I like most about d20-based games (including 3.x and 4e) is that they do have a rule for everything: roll a d20, add something and try to beat a DC ;)

I'm so good I make everyone else look bad in comparison :(

HackMaster and Traveler both have a fairly good random character generation system. In fact, sometimes we just make PCs for HaskMaster without playing, because it's just so fun :D

I'd suggest Warhammer Fantasy RPG 2e, as something with its own original system and a really good setting. OTOH, Mongoose RuneQuest is not exactly "fairly recent", but it has its own setting (Glorantha) as well as some stand-alone ones (Elric, Corum, Land of Ninja...). Savage Worlds has quite...

I think it's important to have each monster/NPC behave differently. Some will use pack tactics, some will prey on the weakest, some will use terrain, some will use stealth, some will try to flee... That's what keeps it interesting for us.

I've been overprotective with my PCs for years, until something happened with my first 3.5 game. I killed a PC. It felt good. I became addicted ;) Nowadays, I'm what you'd call a killer DM. Almost every session, at least one PC is usually killed. Partly because they're a little reckless, partly...

Well, you should take a look at the CMB rules then ;) It simplifies a lot grapple, sunder, disarm, trip and even makes room for winging new maneuvers on the spot. I really feel this, and the skill point simplification, are the greatest improvements Pathfinder made to the game.

It's always sad when people who work bringing fun to others suffer this kind of things :( I wish you all the best of lucks.

I've fully switched to Pathfinder Beta (with web and message board updates). Subscribed to all the Pathfinder lines, and mostly surely I'll buy the Pathfinder RPG core book. Being essentially D&D3.5 in just one book is a winner for me. It tweaked some things, but I don't see a great deal of...

Well, at least your players let you test 4e. Mine refuse to even stand near a 4e manual :p Rage points are gone ;)

What he said :)

If I play D&D, it's a mix of story and combat.When I don't care about combat, I play Cthulhu (Call or Trail), Fudge or Risus. If I don't care about story, I play DDM, Heroclix or Wings of War.

Call me a cynic, but I've always seen 4e's main reason to exist "there are too many people (who are not us) selling our game", so they had to change the core in order to be incompatible with previous non-wotc content, while at the same time changing the conditions to publish for it. 4e is to...

Well if Smaug was a minion, that was bound to happen... 1 out of 20 times ;)

It depends mostly on what I'm DMing: D&D 3.x / Pathfinder: - A couple of core books. - DM Screen - Index cards to pass notes, make NPCs on the fly, etc. - Battlemat (I use a laminated DDM -old- map). - Miniatures. Lots of them. - Dice. Almost as many as miniatures. - Critical Hit and Fumble...

So, someone hates the Warlord class, and thinks it's completely out of his idea of what D&D is. That person has two possible ways of dealing with it: A) Posting message after message on a random D&D forum stating how infuriated he is that the Warlord class is ruining D&D to him. B) Deciding...
