Due to the joy of ENWorld servers it has been over ten minutes since I hit reply and more than that amount since I questioned the first person that responded to my original question about how they were introduced to D&D. Half a dozen or so said they found D&D through some other avenue than...

If you don't mind me asking, why did you pick it up? Did you hear about it from any media source? Did you play any games based off of its IP? Were you interested in reading fantasy or watching fantasy movies and said "hey, now I can do that?" What prompted you to pick up the game. Sometimes one...

1. 2e "streamlined" 1e rules ;) 2. 2e+splats and 2.5e introduced kits which added mechanical differences within classes instead of allowing characters playing the same class to be differentiated by roleplaying alone. YMMV :)

What I would really like to know is how many people just went into a store to pick up a RPG to play. There is no significant marketing campaign for 4e. Every single person that I have talked to has said they were introduced to D&D and RPGs by someone else. That train goes all the way back to...

How the heck did this get necroed?

In my limited experience, any game that concerns itself primarily with combat options and cool abilities, and has combats that take more than thirty minutes to resolve limits roleplaying. Any time you have to base your character concept around making choices between combat abilities...

For the longest time I was pissed that I could not get print Dungeon or Dragon anymore, but then I realized pretty much what the poster above said. Everything I could get from print magazines, I could get better from the internet, with the exception of having a print copy to read while on the...

Considered yourself quoted in a sig. :D I agree with the OP; I wish there was more maturity on the board. It seems like both sides have missionaries that act like pre-teens. No offense to any pre-teens that don't act like jerks. Anyway I think to heck with 3e & 4e; I'm going to go play C&C or...

I don't normally spit at DMs unless they are wannabe Greenwoods or Weis/Hickamans. :) My understanding is that the player wanted to have a character that attacked with his fists and used a shield that eventually would have a ranged attack. I see nothing here that would offend any players in any...

Thanks for your hard work on the site. Paypal is easy folks.

This thread should be moved to General Discussion. DMs and Players should work together to build a common world to play in. I spit at any DM that wants me to act out his little fantasies; those kind of DMs need to go write a book or something. Players need to play along with the type and style...

What I find great about this thread is all the different ways people are coming up with to make Captain America.

Option 2 FTW. That is awesome. This post should have finished this thread. I cannot wait to see what else everyone has come up with. EDIT: Question 1) Rygar or Captain America, whats the difference? Question 2) Why all the hate against a concept that seems like it would work with only minor...

I'm not, but I'm glad that the game doesn't expect a wizard to use heavier armors or even really give any benefits for using them.

Consider this idea taken. :)

The numbers from my earlier post show that 4 minions will do more damage to the 1 defender than 1 soldier will and the minions do it one round faster. Add in the tactical advantages you mentioned above and they are quite formidable. So much so I cannot imagine having the party face a large group...

Here is a link to the thread I started last week on just this subject. Judicious use and description of Minions http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?t=234300

DM Fiat much?:hmm:

abstractus ad absurdum Q.E.A

I guess I'm looking at the discussion from a slightly different point of view. In D&D2e my concept for a 1/2orc barbarian would have been impossible RAW. That was the point of my previous post. If you start with concepts that are limited to being possible inside the rules, then yes you could...
