Having made a Favoured Soul who specialized in buffing the rest of the party (and healing when necessary) I can that this is 100% true, ime. We never bought stuff like cloaks of resistance or belts of giant strength thanks to my ability to buff (thanks to Extend Spell) for hours at a time. I...

You do know you can do that right now right? No one is holding a gun to your head forcing you to pay attention to 5E development. Play whatever edition you like - no one will care.

We used to 'farm out' the wizard by having an NPC along. The one campaign we were allowed to start at 3rd level though and i jumped at the chance to play a wizard (3d4+6 (of course I had a 16 CON) hps?!?!? My gawd - the power! lol). He did pretty good but never dominated. We only got to...

Dresden Files RPG is my number one 'want to play or run' game right now and I haven't even bought or read the rulebook!

???? Errr - I think you might have misunderstood what I was inferring. Leifield is a terrible artist that Marvel employed for years - he has no concept of anatomy so them telling you to get a better grasp of it sounds utterly ridiculous to me. Marvel is the one living in a glass house...

I have run groups of all Rogues before (they were called Thieves though) and it worked within the confines of the campaign I was running (Guildmembers of the Thieves Guild of Lankhmar). I doubt it work as a regular adventuring group - just not enough staying power once they got engaged. Ambush...

Almost my reaction verbatim. I don't even have kids but I would surely have loved to give this to my friend's kids who are just at the age where RPGs would appeal. I don't have any suggestions for kid-friendly RPGish comics but I would recommend TSRs old Endless Quest series by Rose Estes...

Marvel employed Rob Leifield for years. I would have thought people living in glass houses wouldn't throw stones...

Not short enough imo. Probably why I turned sigs off years ago.

In answer to the OPs' original question; No.

This has been my experience as well. Never tried switching DMs while keeping the same campaign or characters. In 4E Tieflings start with Resist 5 fire right out of the gate so I could see someone trying to use this to their advantage. I would probably rule ongoing 10 fire damage if it was...

My biggest concern? That they actually will listen to the playtesters. Some of the gamers I've met are nuts! :lol:

I would be to the right of 3E on the Morrus Linear Scale. I want a little less prose integrated with the rules than in 3E but nowhere near the 'stereo instructions' level 4E reached. I liked 4E and all but the rule book was boring and annoying to read - just like stereo instructions!

FINALLY! After the 1,245,673rd time this statement has finally been rendered true!! Oh joyous bliss now everyone can admit 4E D&D isn't D&D and live in peace and harmony! Oh. Nevermind.

These kinds of things cost money. Lots of it. And trained personal to maintain the collections against damage and time. It isn't that big of a mystery why it hasn't happened.

Well if recent threads in general are any indication if you kill off the party you will immediately be accused of screwing the players over and being a Bad DM. I personally perfer the term Badass DM but whatever. Oh yeah Rappan Athuk is a meat grinder with a lethality level far in excess of...

Maybe it is because ofthis? I kid, I kid. Seriously I have a hard time understanding people who have very strong emotional attachments to things. People, animals sure - I know I have strong emotions around those but a thing like a game system/book? Nope next to nothing. I mean sure I'd be...

Tell it is time to put on their big boy pants and deal with it. You're not their mother or their enemy - you're an impartial judge who runs the game. Unless you went out of your way to break rules to kill them off and/or lied or left out critical information that the PCs would have had that...

Mr. & Mrs Gygax for inventing Gary.

Weapon Finesse and Power Attack I agree 100%. Heighten Spell should just be taken out entirely. Trapfinding is a little problematical. Open it up to everyone and you may as well never use traps again as you'll have the whole party checking every 5 foot section of dungeon every round forever...
