You don't? Weird, I do.

I came out when oD&D did... oD&D was born in late March of '74 right?

In my opinion the "best" version of the Realms is whatever someone else likes and I never have to play in. I hate the Realms. I'm a Mystara fan (no Hollow Earth or Moon nonsense though) and have been since I picked up my first setting guide The Grand Duchy of Karameikos oh so long ago.

Huh. Yeah, good catch. I'm just used to the knee-jerk "It's terrible" reaction I read it in that light. My apologies Black Ranger.

Probably hates the Realms and is caused pain deep in his hearty heart by every new fan that was, is, or shall be. Really? You never played any RPGs at all before you began DMing? Well you are the second person I've ever known of you started DMing without ever having played. By the of...

Arnie voice: "Take de blue pill if you want to live."

Show of hands: How many DMs out there cut their teeth DMIng without ever having played? Now, in the old days I could understand believing that a "new" DM might be "stuck" using the "inherent" setting. But these days? The genre is drowning in different settings.

She Who Must Not Be Named was a plant sent into the past by WotC in the future to begin ruining D&D before they ever even wanted to ruin it themselves as a means to soften the player base so they can kill John Conner.

And you're wrong. It's okay, your opinion matters to someone, but you are wrong. New players will get an introduction to whatever setting the DM wants to use as their base setting. I'll probably run Fallout and my cliched as hell "Hunt the Widgetty-Maguffin" plot if I run 5e. Which is the...

I'm pretty sure that started years ago...

This is where I'm at with these "conversations".

I dunno man... I had a DM once who did that back in the late '80's. He got a cease and desist and when he kept running the game his way Lorraine Williams ate his soul.

I'd probably go with a non-magical Ranger, but only if they are supported in the base game. -- evil "damn WotC for not supporting my preferred classes" eeyore

Well since my first group of five would be Rogue, Rogue, Rogue, Rogue, and Rogue. The next two characters would be... lets see... Maybe it should be switched up a bit. I know: Rogue and then for spice, a Rogue.

Ah. Thanks. To Emerikol: If that's the case, so what? Just say "In my game there is no such thing as fast non-magical healing." There problem solved.

No, that was clear. What is unclear is where you are getting the idea that only martial healing is being supported? Because that isn't happening at all.

This very much fits the idea of formation trained soldery Murder Hobo Killers.

Dwarves in my fantasy games are always basically Yiddish (with a minor variation). My Gnomes are always cthonic murder fairies. My Redcaps are Gnomes who've taken over abandoned forts or homesteads.

When I'm presented with a "logical" argument I respond with logic. So far Tovec has been good enough to present his opinion's and back them with decent logical reasons why DoaM doesn't fit into his vision of D&D. I've been trying to present logical arguments as to why DoaM has always fit into...

I'd only bother with it if I was doing tactical combat. Then it would be: If you have to fire through squares/hexes occupied by enemies or allies you are at disadvantage. If you miss the attack, make an attack against each intervening target starting with the closest until you hit or miss all...
