I guess I'm curious about the idea that somehow 5E's awesomeness might somehow make me like 4E less.

I have seen the final product. I've seen 4E and I love it. What, exactly, would be the point of switching?

There are things about both that I like, but I think in general it's easier for me to tweak 4E to make it more like I want, than tweak 5E to make it more like 4E.

I would not allow it. I don't see any need, and usually when I encounter a player who wants to multiclass it's because he wants all the strengths of two different classes without any of the downside. No, you can't be a character who's as powerful with spells as a wizard, and as good with a sword...

Tutorial #3, in which we take an Encounter from one of the WotC PDFs, bring it into Fantasy Grounds, and then save it as a module. This means you can take any adventure you have a PDF for, turn it into a FGII module, and have instant access to it anytime you need it. I find this great because...

I think Fantasy Grounds is an amazing solution for running D&D online. It's the only true virtual tabletop software I've come across, the rest being purely a battlemat. But F2 simulates all the stuff you do at the table including handouts, rewards, die rolling with actual 3D dice. But gosh it's...

I believe they specifically asked for people to fill in the surveys even if they've only read the packet. Their reasoning, which seems good to me, is that the game cannot merely BE fun to play it has to seem like it WOULD BE fun to play when read. I knew a lot of people who read 4E and found...

I was testing right up to the Sorcerer and Warlock, which I liked. But then they aced them, added the monk, gave the Monk the Fighter's expertise dice, and I checked out. Went back to D&D4. I feel like I have no idea what they're trying to do. The game feels a mish-mash, haphazard, and my...

None of the ENWorld links work for me.

We play once a month at work, we have about 12 regular players, usually divided into three games. We found the Reaper and Werewolf don't really add anything. If you use them, there are now two NPCs wandering around the board, and you've got better things to do than control characters that...

Smaug died offscreen to an NPC. The GM didn't even have to roll.

The beginning of the weirdness. Dragons should have lots of enhanced senses to detect burglars. The idea that it's just an opposed Wisdom check offends my sensibilities. That being said, if the 14th level Halfling Rogue was the only member of the party who could do it, I would be less...

Good lord. Why I wonder?

This is a print magazine?

For me, the tiers were like this; Third Level: You're not going to die trivially to something stupid. Congratulations. It's worth taking the time to name yourself! Fifth level: It is now within the bounds of reason for your teammates to cobble together enough cash to raise you should you die...

Is that an actual example that happened in your game?

I'd probably need some examples of when it's been a problem, but I can see how it could be. Generally, if the player has busted his butt to come up with a cool shtick, I feel like it's my job to let him do it. So, he wants to be a Bene Gesserit Truthsayer at 1st level? That's cool. And it's...

Does it still integrate with the WotC tools? The ability to import characters and monsters was awesome.

Yay! My all-time favorite table!

I started in 1986 with AD&D, I don't think we switched to 2nd Ed until 89 or 90. Birthright was 2nd Edition which was the height of my experience. In that sense this describes me. When I think about going back to D&D, I think about 2E nowadays. I loved every edition of D&D, and I played all of...
