I meant something like a sticky at the top of the forum, like they did when we had a "break" from edition wars for a couple of months. Maybe something like a "Rules of Engagement" for critical threads - ie, please do not start them if you don't want or can't handle rebuttals. I think the...

You're saying the OP was entitled to his opinion, but no one else was. :-S

Fascinating stuff, Wizardru, thanks for posting this. It's very telling that out of 5000 suicides in 5 years, they connect 28 to being D&D players, and use that as grounds for their "expose". Of course, no numbers on how many of that 5000 were football players, cheerleaders, etc. I also like...

No offense to Lisa, but we care what she says why? In any case, I'm sure the comment was taken out of context, the idea that Morrus somehow influenced the purchasing habits of 50k ENWorlders is silly, and she seems like she has better business sense than that. As to other issues on the boards...

Lackluster combat? See 4E DMG p.42 :)

One must wonder if the other players really had "other things" to do next week, or if they just didn't want to risk another session with Ms. UNhappy. ;)

As Legal Counsel for 4E, I must inform you that she has accepted your petition for divorce, though she by no means accepts your criticisms as valid. She wishes you the best in your future relationships. Alimony will be automatically deducted from your paychecks per State Law.

iirc, this was how the original 4E sent out to playtesters was handled, but got changed before the game went to print. I don't know whether they felt it unbalanced the PCs or monsters or both, but it seemed like the original plan was for an ability modifier to be the modifier plus 1/2 level. So...

4th lvl. Finished KotS and web expansions.

I've toyed with a version of this, calling it "Brutal 4E" :devil: from http://necromancergames.yuku.com/topic/9833 " Thought I'd share a houserule I tried out last week, 3 easy steps to make 4E combat faster, bloodier, and far more dangerous. I call it "Brutal 4E". 1. Reduce monster hp by...

exp rewards is for scaling encounters on the fly, as encounter level is based on that now. damage by level is for special/unexpected manuevers, like tipping over a brazier of hot coals onto your halfling packbearer. :devil:

I picked this up today, and love it. It doesn't hurt that 4E has a simpler ruleset: makes it quite easy to put everything you need on one screen. My three favorite things about the new DM screen? 1. The awesome chart from DMG pg42! (this one chart is 4E in a nutshell,imo):) 2. All the...

Fiery Dragon has Creature Collection and Relics & Rituals coming out for 4E. Also, Wofgang Bauer was demoing his forthcoming 4E adventure at GenCon apparently (Wrath of the River King or something like that, iirc).

This is very...cute. All edition wars aside, you'd be hard pressed to find even a shred of evidence that Pathfinder has had even 10% of the sales 4E has, and 4E's only been out a couple of months now. Pathfinder is a fantastic product, and I've always been one to espouse quality over...

What else do we have to go on? Do you have an alternative proposal?

I wouldn't be surprised if 4E heralds the "Return of the Homebrew". This said, I'd like to see a detailed 4E "Toolbox" book on developing, maintaining, and tracking your own campaign setting.

I'm kind of torn between being tired of this setting and the fact that my players will want to adventure in it nonetheless, so these recommendations for or against are definitely an interesting and useful read. 4E is a lot more do-it-yourself friendly than 3.5 was (IMO, at least; not trying to...

Well, I suppose we could use one or more of the following: Swashbuckler Knight/Cavalier Bounty Hunter Thief (less strikerish, more skillish rogue) Assassin Swordmaster(light/un- armored, big-weapon striker?) Monk

You know folks, adding replies to these whiny, edition-bashing threads just perpetuates them. If you don't add anything to the thread, it will sink, like the dead weight it is. That's why I never post in these threads. Oh, wait...darn...:blush:

I'd like to chime in with Thanks to Scott and Linae for their efforts at making the GSL friendlier, and for braving the lion's den here at ENWorld to discuss it! :) Imo, you've got a great new edition, and I'm looking forward to anything Necro, and other 3PPs still on the fence, can add to it.
