Alot can happen in a year's time as we learned with the 4E announcement promises. I'd get that no timeline advance in writing!

The Wheel has fallen off the wagon! Interesting that they have Vecna moving to Pandemonium. Calculated choice or pure random blather?

Wow. I agree with Mona's sentiments on this one and offer some condolences to the hard work over the years paizo did. The Demonomicon and FC1 were very successful with the 3.E crowd, now with this poll's results and other threads on the topic, I'm seeing what has to amount to some flipflopping...

I dislike the direction these fluff changes are going since it will be more work for me to incorporate (or counter-ignore wotc) 4E at my table. I can actually appreciate wryly that Tharizdun will affect the Eberron universe or whatever. My eye will be on FR and Eberron to see how much they adopt...

I'm with GVD on this one. I'm with Mona too. I'm not with WotC. The more updates I read the more it sounds like a whole new game. fluffwise and crunchwise. The abyss idea does sound cool however, but I probably like it because it vaguely reminds me of the Warp or Eye of Terror in Warhammer/40K. Tsk.

Another design article that churns my stomach for some reason. Life isn't fair. Sometimes the PCs should be outnumbered/classed, sometimes the PCs should have the upperhand. This fair and balanced approach to encounters smacks of boardgames not an RPG.

Adapt or die.

Sorcerer? I never had a player make one in 3.x before and now never will. Warlock already took his role in 3.5 IMO, so why try and put sorcs back in 4e? I hate them both truth be told.

I'm stealing this idea from someone I know but it hasn't been broached on here yet so here it is: The current R&D team was not involved in the creation of 3rd edition, but some if not all were involved in the latter developments of 3.5, where the game arguably got miserably broken. So in...

The room of death had me in tears. I've used all those monsters before, but never did I dream to use them all at the same time.

I think it is a shrewd move by WotC. I could never keep up with FR since I was also fully invested in GH. With GH at a drip I could potentially start following FR again on an even foundation with everyone else.

"The Force is strong in this one."

The die is cast. :-D

Wampus I had the opposite effect. The PCs basically TPK'd Dragotha's whole issue without a fatality. These characters built quite severely were only munchkined up more due to my fault by the buffs added in the mod's subplots. I enjoyed many of the mid level episodes of AoW, especially Prince of...

The Concerns of the Mighty angle is quite convincing. I might put a new spin on the hate of FR's NPCs however. Take it with a grain of salt, I'm probably off by a mile. Anyhow, it is not that NPCs are stealing the spotlight directly from PCs, it's that these NPCs which have been meticulously...

Ah this makes more sense now. Wow. Times are a changing indeed.

I missed something, who/what are the CCC?

*Reads with glee.* After the incessant lies about them working on 4th edition I believe the opposite anyone from WotC says. If Baker says FR won't be shoehorned into PoL then it would bet against it.

Sadly this is where D&D stops being a RPG and becomes a boardgame. If the DM determines its a plot vacuum to have the villain escape then the encounter is over when he 'leaves the grid' and further pursuit should be pointless.

I feel for you there. The game is increasingly being pushed as a tactical game and not a roleplaying game. I am having a similar problem to yours (all male) and it seems to be divided along either age or resource lines. Some of my oldest players are happy to RP all day w/o much combat and rarely...
