I've got a better game than either 3e or 4e. It's called AD&D Second Edition and it rocks on toast. Plus, I already own a ton of the books. And those I don't own are really cheap. Switching means spending over $100 on books that will get new versions next Summer. And judging by the...

We quit at level 15 cuz everything broke down with the game after that. We played 2e edition and it didn't really have name levels.

Hey, if they were created during play then they were worth it. You should check out GURPS Martial Arts too. They list dozens of real world styles with a GURPS system tying them all together. It's not supernatural stuff IIRC, but they might have another book on those too.

Can 3rd party publishers declare some of their GSL content as "limited open content" meaning it is open exclusively to other products also published under the GSL?

I think this is why 4e campaign setting construction is pure gold. I grew upon 2e, but this is old school and the way I was taught to play in those 2e setting in the first place. (never read any FR novels, but an FR fan) - spikey

I agree. You could have an isolated city like they did in Iceland, but because it is a city you'll want lots of city supporting civilization. Towns, villages, and farmland. That's the kind of stuff you'll find in practically every D&D adventure module anyways, so I don't think you'll have a...

Also, I noticed in the FAQ Wizards is going to be using product line as a legal term, so it appears as if any product line in its entirety is either under a GSL or not. This is far more reaching than what I had thought, but it could backfire if gaming companies refuse to legally define their...

The only honest answer has to be Tofu. Dragonborn are whatever I want them to be, but the have to be something. No one eats tofu by itself.

The muffin man has it right. Multiclassing isn't about defining the class, it's about shifting the entire role of the class into another. It means retraining from 1st level again in a different profession. It should be easier than ever to make a new class as one wishes it to be under 4e...

Make it a trick door like one that slides up, but has a handle on it. Or hide the door among a series of other doors. For instance, an octagonal room with 7 doors sealed shut, but the real door to the vault is the slab stone floor. Or tie it to the Quori and the realm of dreams, like anyone...

Does anyone know what paints we should use, if we want to paint over the plastics ourselves?

I like it. We steal from everywhere and make a patch quilt setting, but that isn't for everybody. It's just easier to steal things you already know are cool. Plus, I can swap stuff out for my players' tastes.

You can do this in 2e AD&D too. I know we did. Things did get out of hand with all the additional books and the notion that they were all balanced. But it was the Skills & Powers stuff and the other Options books where I think the rules took over. It became less about roleplaying and more...

Or better yet, magic items are unknown. If you go looking for one, it isn't there as the list in the DMG is only a set of suggestions. There are no generic items. Each is specific. Sure, you might be able to hunt down a potion or wand, but who's to say it does what you need it too? Time...

I disliked 3e's magic item method too. It seemed like the DMG was a shopping list where each player could pick exactly the item desired and hold it over the DM to allow it. I mean, it's within the wealth guidelines right? It took zero imagination and sadly inspired only a little. Magic items...

Does anyone make a 4'x6' battlemap with hexes on one side and alternating squares (hex-like positioning) on the other?

The DMG is the book I'm really looking forward to. I think it shows a peek at how the developers believe the game can best be played. I'm hoping or lots of DM useful content without filling the pages with game rules or adventure ideas.

Vann got it right. The new game is free of such consequences as injury, death, or recovery.

Thanks to TerraDave for compiling all of this.
