So we are buying Monopoly chance cards now?

So players actually have to spend money on boosters?

Nope. But calling those books the "new foundation of the game going forward" might raise some eyebrows..

Yeah, choose your own adventure style is the best way to intro to an rpg if there is no one teaching you. I remember getting into rpgs through Lone Wolf books.

Was 3.5 so different from 3.0 that you considered it a different edition? From your list, 3.5 hits all those exactly. 1) New class remake like the bard and ranger. 2) Besides some new feats and changes to problematic spells, what else was changed? 3) Does 3.0 really play differently from 3.5...

This is a game of imagination..

Whats the ability bonus for the non human races?

Well I do play 4e but not my main game of choice. I do at first wanted to make it so with the advent of Essentials but I realized that the gameplay will be the same. The emphasis on certain playstyle is still the same as 4e.

Agreed with all your points and yeah if the guy was a strategist he wouldn't be in that range in the first place. Of course you have to take into account the other player who plays the fighter who tactically makes sure that the strategist is within range to pull of the power in the first place...

This tactician we are talking about is it in-game Conan or out-of-game Kasparov player? An in-game Conan doesn't know what power the fighter is going to use next, the Kasparov might know and have been trying to get away from the fighter, but the fighter has an in-built "sticky" power. There is...

Thing is, they do want lapsed players to come back being a customer again, but to play their current edition..

Is it me or if Wizards really fixated by Far Realms?

Does anybody know who Zzamas is? Anyway check out the phase spiders in Pathfinder Bestiary..

Man i browsed through the booklet and loved the puzzle and cursed elements. I just wish all 4e dungeon crawls has puzzles such as these plus very few combats.

I think for one is the Warpriest is better designed than the Battle Cleric, eliminating a V-class. The books you listed act as expansions, but is the Warpriest really an expansion or replacement for the Battle Cleric? Same goes for the Slayer build on two-handed weapon fighter and Knight for the...

So Grognards are going to start playing 4e now that MM is back to how it was?

Depends what area you want to emphasize. If you want to emphasize pulp aspect, go with pulp system like Savage Worlds or SOTC. If it is noir and inquisitors, go with Trail of Cthulhu etc. I personally would use Savage Worlds. That Gnoll fight on flying disk just screams Savage Worlds and using...

Is RISK a boardgame or a wargame? And why isn't Descent or Arkham Horror an rpg? They seem to be hybrids to me..

One way to test out an rpg: Three game tables all using miniatures; 4e, CoC and Vampire. Now take all their miniatures and burn them. Which game can still run smoothly without any adjustments to the rules?

Wow, I expected massive nerdrage at just the sight of the thread title. Have we reached peace at last? *Exchanges swords to ploughshares* Anyway, the 4e devs explicitly said they took Eurogames as inspiration. It is nice for newbies who immediately knows what to do during combat based on their...
