Yeah, check out any Buffy or Stargate fanfic site and quite a few are anime, video or movie crossovers.

I meant why not write up as fluff all of the monster from the various MM. That is the type of publication I was talking about. Things created just with the various 4e books in mind.

I would have to agree, this argument is a non starter. From what I have learned is that the problem was not in the balance or in the approach but in the fact that lots of people had to change 1e & 2e to fit their gaming still. This was not true of 3.x because there was already a D&D version...

And I was trying to back up your statements. Even if a DM could make an interesting campaign at one extreme or the other I don't think any (but a very small handful) would enjoy them. In real life you have something in between. You have options but don't have a free hand to any thing you...

And that point will vary due to DM and Players: style, skills, likes/dislikes and the system used (among other things).

I have yet to really look at the monster manual. I have been using the encounter maker on line. Nor have I had a chance to look at the wold books but I think the world books are closer to what you want/need. Can any one tell us if there is 3rd party putting out 4e background stuff besides...

There are three ways to do books. Lots of crunch, lots of fluff, try for a balance. Personally I skip any book that tries for a balance or lots of fluff. Other can skip the crunch books. WotC is going for the crunch market, others or going for the more fluff part of the market. Neither are...

Here I will have to say is a big difference in style/approach or maybe it is the old left brain/right brain function argument. Most fluff bores me. I hinders my creation of new adventures and simple wastes my time. I can't listen to music, look at art and become inspired. I am more a system...

Yea, I know the orgin of Fantasy trip bough both Melee and Wizard and played them before getting Fantasy Trip. The change from that to AD&D was a lot. We eventually changed over to Rolemaster. I have fond memories of all of the games but it did give me a completely different impression about...

I can tell you why I did not think he was not trying for balance. (Note: DID not do, this thread as taught me alot.) When I first changed over from Fantasy Trip to AD&D there where so many holes in it for our playing style that house rules just to make it playable where needed. This is what I...

My approach is similar but I try to have 2 or more scenarios for them to pick if they want to. Also I try to stay away from save the world types. I do occasionally run save the worlds type but it last one I ran was a world where the sun was permanently (by magic) hidden behind a thick cover of...

Even if they are fixing them you run the risk of getting an earlier printing. The risk/cost factor is a decision you have to make.

Oh my, I did not even think I needed to define what I meant by module. My bad. I meant a commercially produced adventure or series of adventures.

So my Lvl+0 encounters don't come close to killing my party member? My player character quite often run out of healing surges and healing in combat (The party include a paladin and a Cleric.) The average combat sees at least one character drop. This is low risk? Reread you own statements...

So, I don't see your point. D&D 4e is a very well done clean up of the mess that 3e had caused. It is well put together and as the same feel (outside of the now balance wizard). The basic system is still in place. The races, classes and so forth are still working. While I can see some not...

Sports in one persons view is nothing more then stylized combat. Most of the team sports have there roots in combat. Does that mean modern foot ball is a combat game? Any physical contest between groups can be done the same way as combat. Can you point out one good system that will give you...

Yes but lot of players by 82 started in after 80. This trend increased. Also the starting age seems to have increased. How many old times started in Junior or Senior High School? Most of the people I gamed with in the 80's started with AD&D and where over 20 at the time they started. We...

Thanks, I had the feeling I was misunderstanding something there.

Actually that was just one of several threads that had several post that seemed to imply that modules where important. I wanted to see just how many actually used them so I could figure out how much weight to put on those arguments/statements. There was one that really confused me because he...

So you are saying the significant figure is that the two outer bands have more than 50% of the responses? That does seem different then what I suspected (I suspected from postings on the board to have a bell curve.)
