I think I like 2 meters, myself. I'm liking squares already.

WORST. ADAPTATION. EVER. Nerd rage!

Undoubtedly. I take 'options, not restrictions' seriously.

Just about everything I've seen suggests 4e will be easier to run on the fly, and I'm really looking forward to that. I do some of my best work letting the PCs run wild in a setting.

Alright, I'm following this, and I both agree and disagree with it. It's possible - okay, really likely - that in fact my entire view on this subject stems from my approach to DMing, campaign building, and D&D in general. I consider the homebrewing of fluff, putting your own stamp on the implied...

This is refreshing; one rarely sees a troll get honestly stuck in there anymore. It's all drive-by flames and yelling these days, and I for one am interested in the return of the condescending and content-less postings the early internet was famous for. Additionally, I find the enthusiasm in...

I'd love to reply, but everything seems to have been covered.

I'm fairly sure Insight came up in regards to social challenges...

I'll actually read and reply to the thread itself in a minute, but first: Jeeez, guys, I've only got so much room in my user title for all these epithets! How am I supposed to fit "lemming-like pawn" around what I've already got?

Primary non-D&D games: Legend of the Five Rings (3rd edition - if you abandoned the game with 2nd, check out 3rd!!) Cyberpunk 2020, my first true love in RPGs. Previous Experiences & Easy Sales: Delta Green with the BRP rules. Terran Republic, a homebrewed military sci-fi setting that...

I know -I- kinda feel like I'm twelve and flipping through a 2e Monster Manual again, marveling at the fantastic stories the illustrations and fluffy little snippets paint in my head.

I find it remarkable that the argument goes 3.x has too many rules options because players keep buying these books and bringing them to games and expecting to use the new options*, yet apparently regular players don't buy supplements at all. It's almost as if the argument changes depending on...

If you don't get hating mechanics, play some Exalted. Like some fiendish blend of cardless M:tG (as translated by shonen manga authors for whom English is a third language they're not that interested in; I'm still waiting for a charm called 'Reggae Hairstyle Rock & Roll") and 40-die yahtzee...

How often do you fight something a whole lot like a Frost Giant but lacking the "frost" parts? Now how often do you fight something a whole lot like a roc, or like Orcus? Of the three, Frost Giants seem the easiest to jury-rig out of an existing monster; slap a level-appropriate white dragon...

My own player group has an interesting split; 3 dedicated gamers (we collect dice and books, chat about it during the week, homebrew systems and worlds and rules add-ons), 2 casual players (know enough of the rules to play, don't even think about it during the week), and 1 dedicated...

What if 4e splits the market? What if Paizo releases a 3.75 PHB? What if a giant meteorite were to crash into the Earth tomorrow? :eek: Bloody hell! We'd all be killed!

If I can't keep it on the bookshelves, I don't need it, and it should belong to another gamer who can give it a place of honor. I'm gonna get some of my costs back, sure, but it should find a more appreciative home. That said, the only 3.x books that adorn my shelves can be pillaged for other...

I think a drop of 25% in customer base would hurt Wizards, certainly. I think presuming that this ratio of excited 4e fans to angry grognards carries over into the real world is naive at best, particularly in regards to the Great Wheel. My (admittedly anecdotal) experience suggests that most...

Very much looking forward to a streamlined, easy-to-DM edition that makes a clean break from the Subterranean SWAT model of yesteryear.

Took me about ten minutes of staring at the full-sized image to see it, post-thread. The shrunk version on the actual Ecology article suffers from a weird case of aspect ratio where the dimensions make it look a lot more like girlie bits once you know what to look for.
