This sounds like a good idea... a Boxed Set with a three level adventure with a lot of skill challenge and a few combats against, let's say out-of-control constructs You could name it "Dungeons and Dragons Presents: Adventure in the Wizard's Tower (for ages 6 and up!", or something like that...

True dat... Aragorn apparently spends all his free time singing ...but then again, EVERYBODY in LOTR spends all their free time singing (the Bath Song, anyone?) :lol: This looks like another argument against the Perform skill (why have one if everyone can sing already?) :lol:

I will not enter the Gandalf debate, but I'll support the idea that Conan is really a Fighter with several extra trained skills. In the original stories, he is often described wearing armor (except when he's a pirate) and usually wields a sword. It is the comic book Conan the one that wears...

...or the Corruption Corpse Zombie

It may be that the original poster did not mean it, but the whole comment just felt like a passive-agressive attack. But it will be a pleasure to respond to your perfectly reasonable and insightful post ;) As I see it, WotC's current business model for D&D is to sell the core rulebooks and a...

I made a user account on Paizo in order to vote on the first RPG Superstar thing, since a friend of mine made the first cut of the contest (he didn't make the second :erm:) Since those days, I have used that account exactly twice 1.- I bought a flipmat (very good quality product, btw) 2.- I...

This is exactly the kind of "5E should be 3E!" post that infuriates me.

This. You can have an interesting, flawed character that is at the same time useful to the whole party. For example, in one recent game one of my buddies played an alcoholic paladin... He was hilarious in a social situation, because no one expected the smelly, scruffy warrior in rusty mail...

Of course, you can play a flawed character, but you have to be careful to have these flaws make the gaming experience richer and not just ruin the fun of the game for yourself and/or the rest of the group. The problem is not "Batman in the Justice League", after all, he is the goshdarned...

This. I think the "My character must be completely useless in order to be fun to roleplay" position is a fallacy. The game must be fun to play for everyone involved, and this includes both the "roleplaying" and the "game" portions of an RPG If you are playing with me and you want to play a...

From Exemplars of Evil, I would like to see a 4E update of the Orcish-supremacist warchief, the Brother and Sister driven insane by the mutterings of their dead grandfather, and the Insane Hobgoblin Pirate Captain with a Kython in the hold. They seem to be nice heroic-level opponents (maybe the...

Yay! Exemplars of Evil 4E!

It is pretty bad when a bad DM brings up a Mary Sue DMPC to "save the day" and make the party irrelevant... It is also bad when you have to make contrived excuses in the story to make the characters be "the only ones who can save the world".... "Wait, what about Elminster, Khelben, Simbul...

I suspect we are being trolled...

I suggest switching to 4E, where you are not required to hold your holy symbol on hand to cast and many of your prayers would be channeled through your hammer instead. ;) But I understand what you mean, when a character pulls out a 10 ft pole from their backpack, or when a halfling is carrying...

Don't you hate it when you make a comment and then Cadfan comes and just makes a much more articulate and insightful comment than yours? Cadfan, I agree with everything you just said. In short: D&D is a game that evolves along with its players.

I think it is a likely scenario, with two exceptions. 1.- I think 5th edition will be here in about 6 years, not 8-10 2.- Paizo could reach a level where it reaches a popularity just below White Wolf and become a good business with a confortable level of sales for their company size. Not...

If this happened today? I would just print and sell an errata-ed 4E In about six years? Sure, bring the latest developments of the past years into a new edition. You have to understand that every roleplaying game is the product of its time. The way people play has changed over the years and...

I imagine that if I had just purchased the D&D brand from WotC/Hasbro, I would probably want to hire the best game designers out there to make a fantasy roleplaying game with Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, Fighters, Rogues, Clerics and Wizards I would put "Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition" on the cover...

ggroy, let me give you a small list of what we 4E fans are into, which may be absent from previous editions: 1.- Class and Race balance (the Wizard does not overpower the Fighter, at any level) 2.- The At-Will/Encounter/Daily power mechanics allow everybody to have interesting things to do on...
