I game because of the story. It's not the only reason I game but it's a big chunk of it. I like taking part in the story and influencing it. Sometimes I'll tell me DM (outside of a game) this is what I want my PC to do given the current situation. There are times where my DM says that is...

Chalk me up as another voice calling for the switch of the covers between the PHB and the Character Record Sheets. Place the adventuring party doing battle on the main book and place the picture of the couple of PCs on the Record Sheets. What's a dragon doing on the Record Sheet cover anyway...

This is my issue with it. Having a class that is able to draw from dark and sinister sources is fine with me. Having a PC try to be good and coming a dark history is fine. I wouldn't mind having a Drizzt d'Warlock in the party but after the second or third it'll get old. Where is the Good...

Halflings.

Expect that it isn't always the DM who brings them up. The players can bring them up too. If Elminster and co. don't exist/won't help/etc then it "isn't Forgotten Realms" (or so the players say in most of the stories I heard on the topic).

Han, Luke ane Leia can't instantly teleport to the other side of the galaxy like a high level wizard can. If you have a news report come across that says Alderaan just got itself blown up, you can fairly sure where the Big Guns of the universe are at that time. Same thing Star Trek, if you...

Except Luiren doesn't have an entire hardbound book devoted to it. And while "everyone" knows what Waterdeep is not everyone knows what Lurien is or what makes it special. (Heck, I don't recognise the name Lurien - I'm just using it because the the quited poster used it - but I recognise...

I classify myself as Cautiously Opitimistic. I like most of what I have heard. There is some stuff I have heard that I don't like. I will admit I have already pre-ordered the Big Three Books from Amazon. That way, when I make my final choice about 4e I will have all of the information. I...

The stats "need" to be there. Someone is going to want to run a game where a god's head is mounted and hung over the fireplace. There can be stats for this kind of game. If someone doesn't want to go god-hunting over the long weekend the stats can be ditched and the fight can never happen.

Shhhhhh... I may not DM that often but I have found one of the great secrets of the job. I didn't get that much xp for it though...

I'm sure this isn't what you are saying but this is how I just read this: That you are just going to sit there until some one says that they go out looking for a dungeon. No adventure seeds, no rumors to go after and no NPCs to interact with until the fighter goes up and starts a tavern brawl...

Full agreement. If there was just a rumor of a spy network or something and the PCs were expected to remove the network I would guess soemwhere around 95% or parties would go in with wands blazing. The joke is after all to "kill things and take their stuff". For this reason I would rate the...

Remove "in a particular way" and I would agree with you. (I'd also question the use of the word "mechanic". Maybe "suggestion" or "tool". Anyway...) I would agree that the card would (likely) include the 'suggested' or maybe even 'expected' method of completing the goal. The archbishop...

(Fairly close to an actual in-game conversation... Modified to fit primary example) Player 1: Okay, so this guy wants us to find the spies, correct? DM: Yes. Player 2: Cool. I guess we go kill the spies next. DM: He wants them alive. Player 2: Oh. Player 1: What's this guy's name again? DM...

To have them written down. So all players know exactly what has been asked of the party. So a single PC knows exactly waht has been asked of that PC (and not the party). So the players can remember that NPC A asked quest X while NPC B asked quest Y. So the players remember the particulars of...

The given statement could have finished after 'Hommlett', I agree. However; as a player I would want the rest of statement written down. Why? Because the rest of the statetment tells me what was asked. I wasn't asked to 'uncover the spies.' I was asked to 'uncover the spies and bring them...

I already have the basic three books on pre-order at Amazon. Now; the question of if my gaming group is going to switch or not is completely different...

I'll need to know more about 'Golden Wyvern' and how it fits with the rest of the book before I pass judgement. As others have said, if it is part of the new style of PrCs then it is fine. If it's a "regular" feat then I have issues with it.

We have an accountant that games with us every so often. We have two regular IT guys in the group though.

While I'm a player and not the groups DM... I fully expect that we will finish whatever campaign we will be playing when the books are released. Hopefully there will have been enough time for us to get a good look at the new rule set. I think we'll decide at that point if we'll actually...
