I would not say that. I think in my case my group emphasized a more political, more intrigue-based game; almost to the point where combat was unnecessary. (Since gold gave experience in First Edition there was never a lack of "encounters" to pursue.) The fact that we used the First Edition rules...

Wussy? Perhaps in the way that Galahad and Percival are wussy compared to Conan. Which is more entertaining? That is matter of personal taste. I prefer the former.

Yes, I still have the very first character I made for First Edition - Malcolm. He survived until level nine at which point we left for college and stopped playing. I do not think that my Dungeon Master was soft with us - he let the dice fall where they may. I do think, though, that our idea of...

I'd have a better response if the Twins had not lost 6-5 to the Red Sox today. Plus, I do not want to derail Rechan's thread. As for the Pats, well, what's the saying? If your not cheating, your not trying? ;)

Lol! That is the way I feel when I start talking about baseball around my gaming friends - they just stare at me blankly. Of course, when they start talking video games I just stare blankly at them.

You are correct - they have done six. That was not the point, the point was they are being done in succession. They started the Shackled City in what, 2003? I don't remember the exact year. So, Paizo has done six APs over six years. That seems about right to me. In less than one year of 4e we...

Paizo did three. And they did them in succession. What I am saying is that what is out there now is probably filling consumer demand.

Added to what Zaukrie and Fiery Dragon said - How many adventure paths can the market actually sustain? If we assume that each AP will run between one to two years to release, and one to two years to play. And each gaming group will likely try to play through the entire AP. Then how many APs is...

Ah! Yes, you are right. :lol: I do know of Elan (race). I read Elan (race) and remembered the thread asking why people liked Order of the Stick. I assumed Fallen Seraph was referring to that Elan (OotS) and not Elan (race). Consider this a preemptive strike against anybody not understanding the...

This could be a very fun thread. :) For me Elan represents what I felt like when I first picked up the game. He has little understanding of everything that is going on and just does what he thinks is cool or emulates movie/story/games tropes. Much like most people do when they first play the...

Replace 4e with 3.5e and this sums it up for me.

I find that the older I get the less I want to use technology at the table. I enjoy the feeling of rolling dice, moving a mini, and writing and erasing on paper. At home, writing adventures and making characters I will use MS Word and HeroForge and PDFs. But, when I leave the house to go and...

I kind of like the goblin pack-mule. Those are the kind of minis I build character ideas from. The Aspect of Vecna, on the other hand, looks like utter garbage.

Thanks. If only the 4e starter set had come out in June 2008 and not October 2008...? :hmm: The Dungeon Delve book sounds pretty interesting. Are there any plans by Wizards to re-release older tile sets? I have a bought a few but have had a hard time tracking down some of the other sets. That...

First, and I think this bears repeating, what is good for Wizards and 4e is ultimately good for every edition of D&D. I purchased the 4th edition core rulebooks set last June. I read through the books, printed out a character sheet... and then sat there for over an hour with a pencil unable to...

Agreed. Once upon a time D&D was all I knew. Now, it is competing against its previous incarnations, against other pen-and-paper RPGs, and against computer and console-based RPGs. What is it about this new edition that should "wow!" me? Why should I spend my money on it? Among the people in my...

The original "G" series (G1-2-3) is, in my humble opinion, one of the best adventures ever produced for Dungeons and Dragons. This product contains those adventures and then expands it to include Part Two: The Liberation of Geoff. The second part of the module details many areas of Geoff...

First, I don't think Wizards/Hasbro drives the role-playing industry* in the same way that TSR had in the late 70s and early 80s. * I use the term role-playing as a very broad term to include console and internet games as well as pen-and-paper games. This term can also extend to Legos, Barbie...

I voted boycott Wizards but in reality that is not true. I still plan on playing Magic: the Gathering and making purchases for that. In addition, if they produce another game that looks interesting, as Dreamblade* did, I will certainly give it a try. As for D&D, well, I think I am done with...

True. But many (most?) of us have very short memories. At some point in the future WotC will produce a product that will Wow! us once again, and many people who have sworn off WotC will be back as customers. Now, this does not excuse them from the colossal :rant::rant::rant::rant:-up that this...
