The 4th and 5th books would be PHB2 and MM2. If we are talking those books we would get 16 races and 16 classes so you have disputed my "same amount of options" argument. Fair enough. Back to my original point, why weren't those options included in PHB1 and those levels set to 10 or so instead...

You are absolutely right and why I hate using analogies. I was using that analogy to illustrate my issue with bundling stuff that I want with a whole mess that I don't. My point is that it would cost WOTC nothing to split their sales strategy by tiers instead of how they are doing it now. For...

Nice snark. Maybe I should have quoted my earlier post where I explained why I like BECMI, of which this and my previous post expounds upon. As for all those levels that you quoted, most of my games have gone to between 12-15 levels. Therefore I never bought BD&D's Immortals Set, 2e's...

This discussion reminds of why I hate my cable provider. I pay something like $55/month for basic digital cable, of which I watch about a dozen or so channels. I have to pay an additional $30/month for Digital Classic to get my Geek channels (SciFi, NatGeo, The Science Channel.) Included in that...

That then begs the question, why saddle us with an incomplete game that extends to high levels when not as many people pay to play those levels? I would surmise that half the book will go unused because of groups not playing to those high levels.

You know, just like the BXCMI that got me started in the game in the first place.

:eek: You segregate your dice. I tried that once. My d12s cried because they never got any action and they couldn't talk to any of the others. My first barbarian had less hit points than the rogue. He didn't last long. They are happier now that everyone is back in general population, but they...

Actions or exploits have power cards, as in "I use my implement to find a trap" or " I use my implement to trip the bad orc with pie as he runs past me" ;) If pressed I bet we could come up with 100 powers that use a 10' pole as an implement.

My only problem with this collectible power card business: is some dipshut tournament DM not going to let use a 10' pole unless I have it's card?

Here you go.

I was never into Pokemon, when I was younger but have found now that a few hours here and there are good for my RPG fix. Unfortunately, my most powerful only have 6 badges and are having difficulty in the snow, although I do have an extra Cranidos. ;)

Here is a copy I've had for a while. It does not work properly on my computer though.

Yes to all the above. Saves me from typing near identical thoughts. :)

The Forgotten Realms is a campaign world that has had 20 years of support through campaign sourcebooks, modules, computer games, and novels. Those channels of support have built a game world that has a style that is different from Ravenloft, Dark Sun, or Eberron. It is high fantasy, not horror...

Um, what does that have to do with buying the miniatures you want instead of random boosters?

I am all for moving a campaign in a new direction and do not have a problem with an apocalypse occurring in a campaign world when controlled by the DM and the players. What if I want to continue playing in the same Realms that I have been playing in for the past 20 years but want to change to...

You mean I don't have to buy a case of those things and hope I get what I want?

Part of my problem with settings that change by massive apocalypse or some other trope, is that it neglects any effect the PCs have had on the world. No matter how many times they saved Elminster's butt, they have no control over the world. What the hell is the point of adventuring. They should...
