:confused: That's, um, extreme. I wrack my brain to think of what this could possibly be...the Asmodeus kerfuffle?

I'm going to summarize my response to the earlier parts of this by simply referring you to the dictionary. Well, a single word in the dictionary: competitive. Examine the definition of the word as it applies to sports. Got it clear in your head? Okay, now here's the tricky part - understand D&D...

1st; we'll be learning this one from the ground up. I also have faith that this edition will remove some of the suckitude of 1st level PCs.

Honored.

Actually, assuming the ranger's not a spellcaster class any more, that looks a lot like a 1e ranger. More to the point, are you assuming he takes one class, then the next, then another? One group's "realism" is another group's "munchkinism", and a third group's "crippling handicap". And realism...

I find my games of heroic fantasy adventure are more likely to include grotesque evil fiends and so-called 'vile darkness' than 'erotic fantasy'. YMMV, but it's not like enough of our session isn't taken up with knob jokes already. :D

Work that .sig!

Dear Warforged, It's not that I hate you, far from it. If they put you in the core I'll find a place for you, but for right now you and gnomes should be working together on the "artifice" power source for PHB II, sitting nicely alongside psionics and something else for Eberron. You don't really...

Arrrrg, yes please, though I'm less opposed to Outsider. "Not of this flesh" is a demonic/angelic trope I can get behind, though I'll accept them being [Extra-Planar] something-or-others, or whatever the 4e equivalent is. Requiring a whole new creature for the drow to have trainable giant...

Dear Thrice-Headed Simian God, Please don't let Wizards of the Coast publish sourcebooks in a different physical format than the core books, as Henry seems to be suggesting. Your devoted fan...

Do I sleep-post to this site or something? I started thinking about building a new setting like a week before the announcement. Now I'm just taking notes as articles & blog posts come out, tweaking things to fit my taste until the books hit and I can get down to the good bits.

Sold!

If you can't tuck a character sheet (i.e., a standard-sized sheet of paper) between the cover and the first or last page, it's not a properly designed RPG book.

OTOH, the rumored 'minion' rules might be new fireball's raison d'etre.

I'm 99% behind you. Leave me classes, levels, d20s, saving throws, mind flayers, and bags of holding, and the rest can go for $.99/lb.

No sir, I don't like it. "Saving throw" is a sacred cow I didn't know I loved until they aimed at it. But it's even easier to house rule than a default pantheon, so I'm not too worried about it.

As someone who was trying to research Greyhawk information and material the same day 4e was announced, I think it should receive support. I missed it the first time and it seems cool. Plus, you know, it's a familiar bone to toss to the grognards. :p Also the RPGA thing.

I fear you may have misspelled "least familiar" there, chief. Or possibly "worst", but that's a really easy word and would imply your tastes are objective.

You'll have to forgive me, I forgot about the many times Aragorn teleports through trees, paralyzes animals or causes them to double in size, summons woodland creatures against the orcs, shields himself from flame so he can walk through it unharmed, walks on water, transforms into a tree or...

*stands, with slow deliberate clapping building to thunderous applause* Well stated, kiznit. Whatever the edition, whatever the goals in play, whatever our reasons, There's Always D&D. And that's a hell of a thing. Incidentally, hey there J Arcane. Didn't expect to see anybody else wander...
