DESCENT: JOURNEYS IN THE DARK is a very good game for what it does, and it even has a campaign mode that effectively makes it an RPG of sorts. With that said, I don't think that's where D&D is headed. I think there can be a D&D DESCENT-like game (hell, there already was one - DUNGEON!), but I...

Honestly, I don't want to see any video-game influence on the game at all. None. Had a long conversation with a friend who's a huge 4e fan (and 3e) and has worked for Monte Cook before...but he and I were of like mind that DUNGEONS & DRAGONS needs to play to its own strengths and stand on its...

And how that's handled should be incumbent on what your game settings are. Just IMO. I for one would like to see multiclassing stay in. I'd like to see the option to do it both ways - wed your two (or three, or more!) classes together - fighter/magic-user/thief, cleric/ranger...

One of the biggest turn-offs in 3e and 4e for me were, and are, multiple DUNGEON MASTERS GUIDEs and PLAYERS HANDBOOKs. I liked how 3rd edition seemed to be handling it with ... I'm guessing the term is "splatbooks"? - expansions, but not essential. I didn't care for multiples of the MONSTER...

While AD&D's artwork holds a special place in my heart there's no reason we can't have good new art. 4e's art turned me off, but not as much as 3rd edition. PATHFINDER has some gorgeous art, as does DRAGON AGE (the pen and paper game). In spite of not liking the rules much the new WARHAMMER...

I think it should be wholly incumbent on what the DM sets the dials to for his or her version of D&D: Original D&D or AD&D? Like "the Cleric". 2e? Specialty priests. etc. I think the default should be a definition of what it is, what they can do, the basics of how they're created in each...

Hey, I'm sorry about hitting the REPORT button. Then saying I did it. That was passive aggressive Weak Sauce, and I should've just said something to you about it or asked for clarification instead of hitting that damn button. Everybody here knows I have a hateboner...

Erm...what Auld Grump said. I think Blink Elves and devil people (which would make a great title for a My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult album) should be a toggle switch setting, not a default-on setting.

I think what ChainSawHobbit is saying is that tone is important. And I agree with him. Words mean things, and I'd like to get back to the paradigm of "Fighter"*, "Magic-user"*, "Thief"*, and "Cleric"*, additionally "Paladin", "Ranger", "Druid", "assassin" and even "Monk", "Bard", and...

I've never been on an "edition treadmill". I got out of AD&D just as 2e was hitting, and rejoined just as 3e was hitting, only I picked back up with 1e and have been there ever since. The funkyness of 3e annoyed me, but the LOOOOOOOL TROLLING YOOOOOOOOU of 4e was frankly infuriating. Both of...

To the OP - why would I care that other people have the option in a game of D&D to do what they want as long as I'm getting equal support from the game in the direction I want to go in? I know people who boggle when I say my HERO SYSTEM group regularly runs 450 point supers games, that we might...

Based on what I saw: - The foreshortening of the alignment system; needs to go back to G/E - C/L - N - Superpowered 1st level characters - Miniatures integration. VERY poorly done. - Introduction of "new" races (blink elves, demon people, dragon people). Should've stuck with core on top...

I'd like to see alignment returned to the Good/Evil - Law/Chaos - Neutrality model, like it was for 30+ years. A "skill package" system. Gary worked on Skill Bundles in LEJENDARY ADVENTURES and I think at least the option to do that in D&D would be nice. I never cared for d20 D&D's all...

I was thrown from the carousel, and even though I was disgusted by the experience, Paizo stuck out a hand to try and help me back on...then they were thrown off, too.

There is a movie from 1980 - Steve McQueen's last one - titled THE HUNTER, where McQueen (whose usual ride is a 1950s era Studebaker) has to rent a car. In this case, it's a 1980 "F-Body" Trans Am. As the rental agent leaves him with the car he calls out to her "DON'T YOU HAVE SOMETHING WITH A...

Try NOBLEKNIGHT GAMES - they usually get some through and Aaron is all right. Never had a problem with shopping there. Otherwise, yes, eBay. DWARVEN FORGE (the company) now does direct sales only.

"Hey, TheDungeonDelver! WOTC just pulled the plug on D&D! ...Delver?" ...

My first brush with DUNGEONS & DRAGONS was a copy of B2 KEEP ON THE BORDERLANDS and a set of TSR's blue dice (with black crayon!). There's enough of the rules in B2 that I was able to intuit how to play, and the rest went from there... Oh, there's stories of Moral Panic, not having a copy of...

Ain't gonna happen/not gonna work. First of all, the work to (re)create new settings, even if only to tweak them, will have to fall to the Incredible Shrinking WIZARDS OF THE COAST Staff. There won't be a Gary Gygax handling WORLD OF GREYHAWK, an Ed Greenwood doing FORGOTTEN REALMS, or a Tracy...

Screaming and yelling, threats of physical violence, stomping off and pouting... Too many to detail thoroughly, unfortunately.
