    Removing homogenity from 4e

    I think everyone would get really bored while the Rogue rolls one die. That's a very long time out of the spotlight.

    D&D Brand Dilution

    In my circles, D&D most usually means "roleplaying game with elves, wizards, orcs and dragons". If we need to specify, we refer to the exact version: "Basic", "3.x", "AD&D", "Pathfinder", "Hackmaster" and so on.

    non switchers: what can wotc do to win you back?

    The PDF and OGL issues would help, but what would bring me "back" is a good adventure. Right now, Paizo produces the adventures I like to run, and they happen to use Pathfinder RPG, so that's the game I play. I prefer the PFRPG rules to the 4E ones, but what sells me on one game or another is...

    Aasimar?

    In Pathfinder, they're called "Suli" ;)

    So, what is "4th Edition's Tomb of Horrors"?

    Exactly my thoughts. I even recall (not sure if correctly) one of the preview articles for 4e putting Tomb of Horrors as the example of everything that was wrong from previous D&D editions. Not sure how will Tomb of Horrors be under 4e's design philosophy, but it will definitely be something...

    Pathfinder 1E Now that Pathfinder is out, is anyone giving their setting a try?

    You always have the serials starred in the APs, though.

    Pathfinder 1E [Pathfinder] The Old School New School Fighter

    You can always go with a Fighter with the feat selections from the NPC section. That's quite straightforward to me.

    Pathfinder 1E Roll Call: The Pathfinder RPG

    8/11 here :) Does it count double for being in Spain?

    How many folks are still playing/running 3e?

    Pathfinder is our game of choice here. I'm currently running Legacy of Fire, and after that most probably I'll play in Curse of the Crimson Throne. We've played some games of Labyrinth Lord, HackMaster Basic or Trail of Cthulhu, and planning to try Spycraft, Shadowrun and Marvel Superheroes...

    You'd love OSRIC, then ;)

    The thing I miss most from AD&D is...

    Clerical Spheres. In every other aspect, ruleswise, I consider 3.x/Pathfinder way better than AD&D (1 or 2). AD&D1 had some great modules, and AD&D2 had some great settings, but both were, IMO, pretty weak rulesystems. BD&D, on the other hand, is a game I've developed a taste for.

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Sneak Peeks (Old thread)

    Yes, there can be. And yes, there are. They're just creatures with CRs higher than the average party level. I'm a hard DM. My players have to make up different tricks and tactics to face my creatures. And that's mostly because I use monsters above their level. That's the game's way of saying...

    Best 1st level Adventures

    This. I'll add Burnt Offerings and Necromancer's Crucible of Freya. All of them have the advantage of being also mini-campaign settings, which you can use to start an Adventure Path (three of them have theirs already built, and I find Tomb of Abysthor as a perfect follow-up for CoF ), or as the...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Adventure Path: How Successful?

    What exactly makes Paizo's modules 4e-unfriendly? Their fun or their awesomeness? :p

    "HF" vs. "S&S" gaming: the underlying reason of conflict and change in D&D

    For Those Who Love, Hate, or Love & Hate 4E: What Did 4E Do Right?

    Why do I think this might lead to something very, very wrong? :p

    Where is Diaglo?

    I think he's busy with his brand new 4e campaign ;)

    Games you won't play

    I won't play any game with people I don't like. If I like the people I'm playing with, the game is just an excuse :)

    I've DMed 4e and I PREFER DMing: A poll

    I will never run 4E again. It's so frustrating being absolutely powerless and devoid of any kind of decision, that I fell it wouldn't matter if I weren't there. Just throw the only possible monster combination for a combat of that level not to be a 2+ hour grind (no matter how strange having...
