:\ Toddlers and young children have what, 1 or 2 hit points? I think 'can slay outright or at least mortally wound with a single blow' qualifies as 'able to stand up to'.

Going to 4e = Will buy, play, and likely GM? Yes. Going to 4e = Making it my primary FRPG? Likely not.

I'll get it, but I'm not more attached to it than Iron Heroes, or my ongoing best of d20 E6, or any other FRPG system. Then again, I feel the same about 3.5, FWIW. I like more interesting weapon-tuned fighters, the death of the permanent body item Christmas Tree, per-encounter balance, the new...

It languishes in forgotten boxes, has been recycled into new paper, occupies otherwise unused brain space, was lost in the failure of my two desktop hard drives, or now collects dust on my laptop hard drive. 's all over the place, really.

Danke.

I'd believe it; that point-towards-enemy yak looks like something Exalted would have. Besides the other obvious similarities. And I'm fairly sure Elric is intended under the 'satirical interpretation' clause of polar opposite. Mind if I sig this?

Yeah, I got an email that adjusted my posting & thinking (I'd like to think) - an email I specifically thanked the mod for going to rather than straight to a ban. It works, mods. At least, for most of us. But so would random bannings. :D

My understanding was R&D is primarily a rules shop, more than background.

Am I the only one who finds "RPG Story Team/D&D Minis R&D" to be a really, really weird combined job title? It's kind of "stock car racer/Amish buggy repairman*", don't you think? * Not a statement of proficiency or advancement, but of related-ness.

Well, I slept on it. I'm still down for 4e, but in the way I'm down for Arcana Evolved - it's a cool and flavorful d20 game, but it's not general-purpose. And I'm okay with that. I've got an ongoing hack of the L5R system into a grim urban fantasy game and a 'best of d20' E6 variant coming...

They've got a long way to go to win me over with regards to undercutting transmutation in the general wizard. A very, very, Sisyphean long way. :\

:\ ... :\ EDIT: This would be more accurate if smiley #2 was the other way.

All the non-mechanical differences between playing 1e and playing 3.5e. Oh. Also, no real attraction to being 9 again.

You're far too kind.

Let's pretend XP for an encounter is (100xlevel) and a monster is (20xlevel), and this Hommlett affair is for level 5 PCs. Is there a reason this horribly restrictive quest of the Archbishop's (which is restrictive because you don't get free XP for not doing it) couldn't be written "Uncover the...

After much reflection, I had to vote 'decline', but I think it's more likely it would fracture completely, spinning off dozens of small insular groups whose incestuous cannibalizations and defections -eventually- destroy the hobby. I'm really curious about the 3 people who voted "Immediate...

You know, of the myriad varieties of helmets throughout history, I think 'conquistador's iron hat' is one of the few I've never seen a player want to have. Also, that sword is dumb. I can see why they hid the mini from us (possibly because it's not a WotC mini... :P ) - I wouldn't associate...

I'm not normally a Realms player or DM; I don't hate it, but once I heard it described as 'wet cardboard fantasy*' I figured out why I didn't like it. But 4e Realms? Torm and Bane staring at each other across the metaphysical chessboard - and now Bane has paladins of his own? I just might be in...

I realize this isn't -exactly- what you're talking about, but way back when I got started on D&D with the red box, and in that little red PHB there were level titles. And yes, the book told you that those are how the character would most likely refer to themselves; "Not Jerry the 2nd level...

If the thread title is 'Please ignore', is posting threadcrapping?
