ROCK! I try not post about it due to the love/hate edition wars, but I'm pretty much anti-4e. Let those that love it play it, but leave me out of it. I'm quite glad. If it gets to a point that you need help, let me know. I'll tackle a few of them myself.

I almost hate to ask. Is this project going to die when 4e is released?

Yep, I was thinking the same thing as that is my current situation.

If the Manual of the Planes would combine the Planescape and Spelljammer as we've been discussing here, I'd have to have one 4e book on my shelf to house rule into my games. I, for one, have never really "liked" the big wheel, but I had always accepted it as canon. By the time I started making...

I'm not sure why one player having more knowledge about a setting would bother anyone. The same could be applied to a rule system. Instead of complaining, I'd think they'd rather learn more about it through game play or reading material for themselves, especially a setting as good as Kalamar.

FIFY ;)

Have you seen his Book of Experimental Might? While 'flipping' through it, I kept thinking to myself, "Is this a 3.5 version of 4e?"

Maybe you should just avoid all intersections....

Have you never encountered a species we call women? They do/cause weird stuff all the time. ;)

I'll have to disagree with you on this. What good is a defense if you are not even defending? Isn't that what a surprise attack is all about: getting to attack someone without any chance of defending? In your examples, I've got a better chance of surviving the raging barbarian attack because I...

Thanks for the list. Once I'm done reading (and liking) the Characters book, I'll start looking for the others.

It doesn't look overwhelming to me. It's got a level of detail that I like. I'd been reading a 3rd edition core book, but stopped when I ordered the 4th edition book. So far, I like what I've been reading. What other books do you suggest for a full blown fantasy campaign?

Interesting. I am going through the exact same situation myself. I've decided (and still plan) to write my own game. In the meantime, I've been turned on to GURPS. My 4th edition GURPS characters book arrived yesterday. I already have a group a few hours away ready to take me in when I'm ready...

I hope they do a left-handed forum... Seriously, twenty years ago that forum would have been a great idea. In my nigh-thirty years of gaming, I've only had one instance where gender was an issue, and that was just one person believing D&D was a game "for the guys". Everybody else in the...

Best idea, IMO

How did it go?

Yes, but that was released over 25 years ago. He might have lost the memo. ;) Oh, hell, yes. Great advice! I remember those days as a pre-teen: hiring several men-at-arms and killing them before returning to town so we wouldn't have to share the loot or XP. Back then, we (DM including) never...

I've ran this several times myself. Early in my gaming career, I killed an elf with the gelatinous cube. Advice? Have a BLAST with it! Don't worry about rules calls. As it's a one-shot tribute, go ahead and rule in the PCs favor for questionable calls. Hell, you might have enough fun to turn...

That's not true!! That's IMPOSSIBLE!!!!

What about the cupcakes? Why must you shun them so?
