Bollocks. I'll take Gary's game over anyone who's come along since. First Edition is wonderfully designed, just horribly organized. I'll take that over the reverse, which is what we've seen since.

Yawn. You lost me at rage.

D&D HAD that. Until a bunch of people whined about it and it they changed it to the detriment of the game.

Nevermind. Getting too political for ENworld.

Those poor players, having nothing but the 100 million or so in the bank. Sterling's case is but an example. He happened to make a good investment. What if he'd bought the team today, and it devalued over 10 years? As to folks like you and I, it's not the amount of zeroes involved, it's the...

Yes, but what happens when you're the owner? If a man loses his business for racist remarks, what happens to the players and coaches? A gay slur is a 50-100k fine, but a racial slur is 2 million, a lifetime ban, and forfeiture of assets.How many players have used the "N" word? How many have...

If everyone lost their job or business for being a jerk - and I'm not disputing the fact that he's a jerk, he said some horrible things - there'd be a lot less people employed. And if everyone lost their job because someone didn't like something they said, none of us would have a job. None...

Every time a demon appears in game, play an episode of Roseanne in the background.

As Dannyalcatraz says, by paying attention. But this is America, having racist thoughts and words should not preclude one from owning a business. Maybe he should have been fired long ago for his ACTIONS, but not for words. Never for words.

Irony much? Lecture me on tolerance, then turn around and behave far more intolerantly than I.

The dungeon is not necessary, my players spend way more time outside of one than in. But the idea of THIS is where you're going, and THESE are what you'll encounter is anathema to a campaign. Sure, those cultists you mention might show up anywhere, but they should only be interested in the pcs...

I can't see Hussar's comment, as I put him on ignore years ago. I use prepublished module 90% of the time, though I sometimes add in custom content, or an odd encounter from another source. But I populate the world with these adventure locales before the campaign ever starts. Players might...

It serves the dm's purpose to have an interesting game world and to adjucate interacions between the party and the game world fairly. It never serves a dm to "make sure the party wins." How do you figure? Except in a very broad sense, in that the dm presents the game world, the players...

There's nothing wrong with either scenario. The outcome should be up to the players. IMO, it's much more interesting for the players to "write the story" by their actions than to play out a predetermined plot of some kind.

Here's what I said about 4e before it's release: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?226363-will-4-0-succeed&p=4226525&viewfull=1#post4226525 No, 4e will not succeed in the long run. It may do very well for a few months, a year, but due to declining sales, we'll see 5e just before the...

Whenever they can find one and pry it from the owner's cold, dead, hands.

Yep. That's what I play the game for. To do math.

Run or die are not the only options. Fast healing completely removes the thrill of beating some creature when the fighter has a 3rd of his hit points, the magic user is hanging on to one hit point, and the thief is praying he gets a nat 20 on his backstab because if he gets hit, he's dead. I'm...

And then you're just forcing faster healing on everyone. What does it matter where it comes from? Potions, healing surges, who cares? Healing should be a lot rarer than that. You're not accommodating a playstyle, you're mandating one.

I never said there wasn't healing spells available. My current group has one cleric, but he rarely prepares cure spells. He prefers offensive or defensive spells like command or bless. And in fact, only has access to cure light wounds until 7th level in any case. Incorrect. Resting is only...
