    Board games you own and would recommend

    I can't believe it took 57 responses to get to Diplomacy. I guess I just play games with pricks :)

    Classics of Fantasy

    Thank you Krypter for the necro. I was never aware that Wizards had something like this on their site. Time for me to go read. :)

    Guild Wars is everything DDO should have been

    They say that you cannot transfer your access code so no you cannot get it used. Probably because they seem to make the most of the money from selling the game in stores and online. I don't know about WOW but GW beats out DDO without a doubt. GW has an up front buy-in but after that it is free...

    What would it take for 4E to win over the old guard? (Forked Thread: Changeover Poll)

    So for another $30 I can have them. Sorry we've all been down this road before.

    Yeah henchmen suck. Does Gwen ever grow up?

    The Nature of Change (or, Understanding Edition Wars)

    That's right because no one can rationally decide what game system fits their style. Logic has no place in making choices. :hmm: I think the emotional responses come in response to condescending attitudes both for and against change.

    What would it take for 4E to win over the old guard? (Forked Thread: Changeover Poll)

    I guess I'm part of those 18 and I expect that if WOTC is going to take away most of the non-combat info from the monsters, then they could at least keep in the same amount of monsters that 3e had. BTW those listed by Aeolius are in the 3.5 MM niche or not. Food for thought 3.5e 418 seperate...

    Follow the Money Edition Poll

    If this poll had asked about purchases since 4e came out, my responses would have been different.

    Why did you quit playing 4e

    If it counts, I played in KOTS FTL. My immediate problems where constant tracking of status effects and marking; using rainbow colored sets of poker chips and the like seem too much like those war games with chits from 20 years ago. Like others have said previously, the battles were not...

    What would it take for 4E to win over the old guard? (Forked Thread: Changeover Poll)

    True that but when a player is listening to an NPC talk and knows what he is saying is bunk, but fails a Sense Motive check... The whole negotiation skill challenge example in DMG (pg 76-77) takes all roleplaying out because regardless of what you say it all comes down to your roll. In one...

    What would it take for 4E to win over the old guard? (Forked Thread: Changeover Poll)

    It used to be about roleplaying. Now with 90% (Admittedly a number pulled out of my backside) of the rules devoted to what happens on your battlemat, it has lost the meaning of what D&D is to me. Granted it doesn't stop roleplaying and even added Skill Challenges to help facilitate other than...

    Guild Wars is everything DDO should have been

    Guild Wars Platinum has Prophecies and the expansion Eye of the North. It does NOT have Nightfall or Factions. No Paragons or Dervishes for me :(

    Didn't someone like Dancy say as much would happen. D&D is the WOW of the paper RPG industry. The only thing that will kill WOW any time soon would be something like making WOW2 that was not compatable with the original WOW. Think if WOW came out and said thanks for playing your 80th-level...

    What would it take for 4E to win over the old guard? (Forked Thread: Changeover Poll)

    Just because you and other people happily playing 4e can play with just the core three doesn't mean the rest of us can. We need something more from our games that 4e cannot provide in its current state, whether it be be its lack of options, or differing style. Have fun playing 4e; our hobby...

    Thinking about Warhammer?

    Edited it for you ;) and I think it has the same feeling like AD&D1e and 2e

    Have You Purchased Any Additional 4e Supplements Beyond the First Three Core Books?

    I voted for Purchased supplements but not the core rules books, since I only bought KOTS.

    Did You Buy the First Three 4e Core Books?

    No, because I read a good portion of the PH and played in KOTS and found the $60-100 buy-in not worth it, in addition to WOTC's business model that will have more "Core" rules coming out yearly. I don't upgrade my computer yearly to play the latest games, and I won't pay the same amount yearly...

    Changeover Poll

    Are your beliefs about the poll because it shows for the small amount that have responded that 590/709 are part of that either-or group. I don't want 4e to fail (and I cannot imagine that it would even come close to failing) but in my extremely limited experience with it and players that...

    Guild Wars is everything DDO should have been

    I don't normally start threads but I just had to make a comment about my CRPG thoughts. I enjoyed Diablo and Diablo 2 and had a blast when a friend of mine in another state played Titan Quest with me. I had a good time with Morrowind although I have not tried Oblivion. Neverwinter Nights was the...
