Actually... both Emerikol and ByronD were strongly supported in 3e (as long as they disallowed non-core 4 classes)... and they obviously like 3e... So you can see why they are crying foul. At least I can. However since that "playstyle" is very, very, very, likely included in the 5e rules...

You are dead to me! Alternate post: Mumble-grumble kids these days not respectin their elders! Why in my day we drove our enemies before us, saw them off our lawn, and shook our canes at them!

RACIST!

OH MAN! I just remembered my Goblins-riding-space-sharks-with-lasers stuff! SQUEEEEEEEEEEE! If my group wasn't so "Spelljammer sux dude" I'd be all up ins that again.

Then.... I am really not understanding the angst over this "issue".

I'm not so much "excite" as I am "intrigue". I'm looking forward to reading the rules, but that's about where it ends for me.

Yeah it's a goatee-dreadlocked black guy... unless it's a really tall thin black dwarf female.

Could steal a page from FATE and have using Second Wind and other such "non-magical healing" cause a Consequence (like a wound) that requires long term healing (or more sparkly snowflake magical healing).

With every new convert the Mission grows! With every new voice chanting our love for DoaM we strike at the dark heart of the Anti-DoaM forces! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! /end comedy

Oh hells yeah! It's my second favorite setting in the "D&D 'Verse". And right after it I want Dark Sun to rise again!

That's how I roll... though I do admit to occasionally buying SJGames products I might not care about simply on the off chance my group might want to play it. I also favor brand hatred where I refuse to purchase or participate with the brand in the hopes it fails. I also try to convince...

If you mean 'hate' to be "Won't have anything to do with 5e because of" then the polls here say you are wrong. If you mean hate to be "Dislike it but will houserule around or ignore it" then yes, 20% is completely accurate.

The one in the 3e DMG. It wasn't useful because it was based on the party "having a certain amount of resources" which the game I ran wasn't founded on... because I largely ignored that section of the DMG. Honestly... I largely ignored the 3e DMG entirely, it had almost nothing I required...

So have I. I don't play with them for long. Oh, were you making some sort of insult towards me? Heh. It was that or let someone else run and deal with two problem players. You know the type: They say they're going along with the mission, but they decide half-way to the "mission area" they...

Nope. I read the 3e guidelines once and then never bothered to pay them head ever again (same with 4e). When I ran 4e I routinely did things one of my players jokingly called "@#^$#@& CHEATING", stuff like the endless wave of minionized Zombies that started at 1/2 the party size that kept...

For distance a rough estimate of 3 feet to a yard and 1 yard=1 meter should suffice (1 mile equals roughly 1.6 kilometers). For weights I'd use google to convert pounds to kilograms (though that's roughly 1 pound = .45 kilograms). Uh... liters are 1 gallon to 3.8 liters.

I expect the Starter Kit to take a few days... after all some has to scan it first.

Oh sometimes they aren't. But I remind them, "Fair is fair". If they want Diplomacy to be non-magical mind control, then it works both ways (and really 3e Diplomacy can be insanely effective as non-magical mind control with a good enough roll). Also I run GURPS, and the skills in GURPS work...

Yup. And if you feel that removes too much agency from your hands, what do you do? You fix it. Or... talk about it online. Either way, my choice was "fix it", so I decided that rule was stupid, dropped it, and kept on rolling.

Yes, well I rather expect the old guard DMs to largely be made up of your kind (the "learned to roleplay and DM at the same time"). My point however still stands. These days newbs are far less likely to be inducted into roleplaying by a other newbs. Specially with so many CRPGs being most...
