    DDI for $7.95

    As this reads, and it may just read funny, it seems this is quite possibly a "limited time offer, buy it while it is hot!" kind of thing. I am *guessing* that if you lock in a year now... then you get a year's access no matter what else changes or gets added? However if you go the other routes...

    What is your second edition experience (no edition war!!!)

    I started with AD&D in 1981 and stayed with it until EarthDawn came out in the early 90's then switched to it until 3E in 2000. Just from looking at 2E I could tell it was not my thing. Similar reaction to 4E, maybe it has something to do with even numbers? :hmm:

    How much stuff do your players buy?

    I DM and occasionally play, but all my purchases have been as DM. In my group of 8 that ran from 2000 through 2005 all the players bought their own dice. That was it as far as the "everyone" purchases. I had 1 other player who also DM'ed a separate group who bought several books, usually...

    What do you expect from a free product vs one you pay for?

    Personally I don't have many expectations of a FREE product, or player created XXX (where XXX is class, race, feat, skill, etc.) Simply because it is free, it may be well thought out and play tested or it may be thrown together in a single game session as a "What if". Conversely my...

    Pathfinder 1E Rate Paizo as a Company!

    Emotionally I would give them a 5 or 6 but realistically gave them a 4 because there is always room for improvement. Just as I gave WotC a 2 instead of a 0 or 1 because they do some things well.

    EN2 very much slower

    I have seen both the very slow and the very fast, just hours apart from each other. I am not sure what the prime time hours are for the site, but being in Central US time zone I only seem to have real problems in the 6AM to 9AM timeframe. Also during the 2AM to 5AM window the site is very...

    Rate WotC as a company

    I gave them a 2, strongly considered a 1. That had nothing to do with my feelings for 4E, it has everything to do with products thay have produced... or not produced. My initial frustration does go all the way back to e-Tools. After pre-ordering the product and getting the original 1.0 CD...

    ETA on the Wiki?

    Michael, I have had similar experience as the two posters above... essentially that it is a very "hit and miss" proposition as to whether I get logged out or actually get to the wiki... some certain weird combination of windows and links works, some don't... ever. I am just reporting for...

    These are the changes of 2 1/2 years?

    Third-ed, it is a sad commentary on our society that we are lightening quick to complain and glacially slow to complement.

    Site layout with ads turned off

    That is a very cool feature, and one I might switch to yes whenever I am on my old laptop with the 1024 x 768 max res... But strangely enough ENW is one of very few sites that the ads have never bothered me and I actually have followed several to some interesting places, so even available I...

    Site supporter 'avatars' to big.

    I actually like them for now, but can see where eventually they will get old. I have noticed that Mark and Nift (and others in other threads) have a 'Community Supporter' link under their titles. Currently none of them seem to work (404 errors), but is this something they have done themselves...

    Out of Print games You Miss...

    You covered mine with your list (BECMI, AD&D, EarthDawn) and then Scurvy pointed out... So I guess technically ED is back off that list. I used to play a Star Trek game also that was really fun, but I don't know if it was the FASA version or not.

    Welcome to ENWorld 2

    Excellent job Michael! Looking very good so far.

    Tell Me About EarthDawn.

    I don't remember too many specifics at this time (played it in 93-94); but I do remember that I had far more fun playing it than almost any other game. EarthDawn was a big part of the reason I skipped 2E altogether.

    Dead Again

    This seems to be (as almost all of them do) a lack of communication issue. The players are playing as just that: Individual players. They need to learn to act as a squad / unit with individual elements to accomplish a common goal. To that end there should proabably be some give and take from...

    You D&D people are going to hell!

    Shouldn't this thread get moved to the "Talking the Talk" forum?

    It's Official: 4e will give you teh gay

    Extremely buy, and then you will start getting confused and mixing your planes and deitiesss, as well as plaids and stripes. You will never be happy either, you will just have to be more buy, and buy, and buy, until you pass out from all the buy-ing!

    3.5e -- What REALLY needed fixing?
