Gah! You got me! I started reading this thread thinking of a reply along the lines of "Do we REALLY need another thread like this??". I'm glad I read the whole post though. Heh ;)

I agree with a great deal of these dealmakers. I'd also like to add a 'me too' to being more excited to DM this edition than *any* previous edition. The fact that classes are brought more in line with each other is another large plus for me. I never cared for mages being in one school of...

My only 'Arthouse rule' will be to add tails to the Dragonborn. Otherwise I tend to draw most everything for my world myself.

Hmm, I'll try to list the big ones that were solved for both myself and both of my players (for the most part.) 1. Magic System - I could never seem to get a game going due to annoyances over the magic system of 3.x. In fact it wasn't until recently that a player and I both realized that the...

I honestly don't see this thread going anywhere 'good'. Do people jump in to defend 4e quickly? Yes. A great deal of the sudden reactions is because people may be getting tired of the arguments already. Especially circular arguments when its clear that nobody save the developers have the...

For myself and my group, this is a plus way of playing. I was personally miserable having to fumble through every rule attached to the mid-level monsters (We just didn't have it in us to get to the higher levels of 3e) trying to come up with unique ways to use the monsters abilities that were...

I'm not sure this would be allowable even if it wasn't converted to 3.x. Taking a feat/power/spell word for word from any given published book and posting it online is extremely thin ice I'd gather. But again, I'm no lawyer. But powers in the core books are the IP of Wizards, and I doubt they...

I run with two players, and after 4e was announced we decided to put the current campaigns (I use the term loosely, more on that in a bit) to rest since we weren't too far along in them anyway. Add to this the fact that one player and myself decided it to call it quits on Warcraft and you get...

I'd have to know more about what went on during that time combat-wise to offer any advice. From personal experience, I run a homebrew 4e game (using the premade abilities, but with custom characters) and the character count comes to six not including enemies. The largest battle so far has...

Wow, yeah. If comparing between the current PHB image and this one, I'd certainly pick the latter. It conveys a good sense of action against an enemy/challenge. I'm sure they'd have to re-model at least one of the party into a dragonborn though, since they'd want to show off the new race in...

Ah, art. As tumultuous as politics, but more pretty to look at ;) I have to admit that I really do like all three covers, though my favorite has to be the Dragon. I know things like 'horn piercing' isn't everyone's favorite, but to me it evokes a sense of sentience or 'self' that the dragon...

Heya! And welcome to the boards. You've tripped into a stort of 'testy' area with some folks since there have been months of arguments both here and abroad between people wanting to defend their editions. Don't let any of that drive you away though! As to the main question: 4e - Is it really...

Seeing as I'm solidly in the 'I just want to play' camp, I'll refuse to comment on a great deal of the vitriol I've skipped through to add a hearty 'Good luck, lads' to Paizo! I've already decided to switch to 4e myself, and from what I've read in the announcements on Paizo's site there seems...

Not to hijack the thread or anything, but would anyone happen to know what font the little icons for melee/ranged/spell attacks that you see on some of the DDM miniatures cards are? There's a small sword in a circle, a small bow, and what looks like a star of some kind that I've seen so far...

I'm mostly a lurker, but I'll add my toss of the copper. First and foremost I'm noticing one rather glaring error in some arguments stating that having a character who can do 'x' power at will all the time during an encounter. They forget that players can actually be *quite* clever if given...

The only downfall I could see would actually be including Paris Hilton in this movie. I'm personally tired of seeing that mule-faced, spindly, gangly creature every time I pass by a magazine stand, or clothing store. ..Unless she played a creature akin to Golum in this movie. Otherwise I'd be...

We've had some bizarre luck with gaming in my group. We only get together perhaps once every few months (though are trying for once per month now), and the last few sessions were cancelled due to illnesses of sorts. The first time it was one player's kids getting a flu I think, the second time...

I'm lucky in the fact that I refuse to pay full price for a game only to have to pay more per month just to justify the purchase. It would be like buying a car, then paying monthly to use the tires. However this is simply my opinion. So far the social experience of getting together for a pnp...

I'll count in my vote for no as well. The D6 system definitely has its merits, and most if not all of them have been mentioned by posts before mine. We had some memorable games with the WEG system, but in all honesty you can do pretty much anything you could in that system in the D20 one, and...

I've always thought it stood for 'Rampage After Whiskey'.. ..In fact I tried using it as a defence for my rampage after scotch!
