    4e rules will make some games much harder to run

    You really thought I was old? :D Nah there was an old Dragon mag that had "Old Gumphrey" in there, it was an NPC. I've used it in almost every campaign I've run since then.

    You don't like the new edition? Tell me about it!

    Actually, it sort of is. All that healing sounds stupid at first, until you realize that hit points aren't "life points" anymore. In my experience it's mainly a refusal to accept this that keeps people from playing. Most of my group is anti-4e because LOL EVERYONE HEALZ. Oh, and LOL WARCRAFT...

    Good Lord, that's 12 years longer than I've been alive! *bow*

    Multiclass and Replacing Powers

    I missed the unattractive part of a plate-armored fighter launching a fireball out of his sword.

    D&D 4E Inside 4e D&D

    What an interesting comment. It adds a lot to the discussion. I honestly didn't find it all that funny; although, I did get a kick out of the D&D school.

    Two-handed weapons -- nerfed, or am I missing something?

    If +3 to hit and 1d10 damage is meh, then +2 to hit and 2d6 damage is probably meh as well. I compared longsword and greatsword because they have the same hit bonus, and also the best hit bonus. Less hit bonus = less hitting = less damage. The maul and greataxe probably work out to be the same...

    Two-handed weapons -- nerfed, or am I missing something?

    I was only a GS user because I like reliability over HUGE CRITZ. Now, don't get me wrong, I love HUGE CRITZ, but what I love more is repeatedly beating the slop out of something with a giant 2-handed weapon. Any 2-handed weapon, really. It's not that greatswords are bad; it's that all 2-handed...

    In other words, they'll fix it with a splatbook. ;)

    Sold through already

    Guess what they're probably not going to do? :)

    Two-handed weapons -- nerfed, or am I missing something?

    That's a pretty marginal difference, honestly. In 3.x, you were trading lots of damage for lots of protection. It seems like you're now trading lots of protection for not that much damage. Once you get a few magic items that small difference is going to look even smaller. :(

    Ignoring your problems makes them go away, right? Right? Bueller?

    Why won't you switch?

    You know what's hilarious about that? HFCS is actually many orders of magnitude more damaging to your body than plain sugar.

    Turn Undead should be removed!

    Turn Undead? Who cares about that when you can CRIT ZOMBIES! Is there a Shotgun domain?

    I begin to worry...

    Ok it's time for bed when that looks like "Please sausage my donuts." 'Night.
