Daniel-san: Treebore has never been on the 4e wagon. He's a C&C man all the way. Treebore: Correct me if I'm wrong. FWIW: If 4e didn't do it for me (and currently, it's more than doing it), C&C would be the bee's knees. The cat's meow. The cool side of the pillow. Seems like a great game...

Printed magazine. But this won't happen. So... BIG UNLABELED HIGH-RES MAPS. What the hell is so hard about providing those in a PDF format? Doesn't cost an extra dime. I've heard 4,542 other people ask for them. Why and wherefore, WotC, not? Just do it. Jeesh o' man. Dangit OP, now I'm...

If you're referring to me, that's not really the case. 1E was - pants down - the best when it came to reading "fun" and each edition thereafter has been a step down from that. That said, each edition thereafter has been a step up in function. I can read The Lost City cover to cover. I have a...

Here's the deal: I am enjoying playing 4e, but I can't curl up with a 4e book any more than I could curl up with a pile of roadkill. The books just seem so clean - too clean. Too formulaic. 3e books were infinitely better in this regard. I may not have used a snippet of Heroes of Horror, but I...

By the book init...omg. My head just exploded. Also attack bonuses/penalties against armor types. And we used to sit around all day sending assassins on Assassination attempts, just to roll on the percentage table. In fact, one thing 3e really did - that 1e and I'm presuming 2e failed to do...

I'll give you that. Now git over here for an ol' group hug.

Sarge is right. Take it from a guy who played more 1st edition games in his buddy's parent's basement than you can shake a broadsword at. Arneson? Kuntz? Perrin? Ever hear of 'em? Rookies. WP

I'd just like to say I absolutely loved that imagery contrast as well. Shared it with my whole group. It does what...what I (and 4,2567 other people) have been unable to do via words. Props to the poster. WP

Oh, I agree with you, as I do on most points. But - just personal preference - I like the idea of PCs starting darn near peasant-levels of power. They're full of potential, but it's unrealized - at the commencement of the campaign. Maybe I should have said: When every hero is special, no hero...

What is 4e missing? In a word: More. The PHB should have been twice the size with 3x the number of Powers. If that took another year of development, so be it. Four at-wills? Four? Are you kidding me? Everyone's the same. 4e is awesome for DMs. It brought that back to the 1e style. But...

Good point on the licensing issue. This, like so many internet discussions, may be a moot point. That said, we see the APG on the street and now Goodman has their own versions of the 1e classes coming out - so maybe there's enough wiggle room to make it work. WP

Defining "1e feel" is as hard as defining why some people feel 4e, or 3e, or Xe, is "just not D&D to me". Very hard to do, very subjective, and very unique to individuals. That said, I think: 1e is Greyhawk instead of Ptolus (thank you Filcher) 1e is medieval, not anime 1e is complex...

While I'm happy to listen to any opinions on this, I'm really looking for those folks who currently are NOT interested in 4E but potentially WOULD BE interested in 4E if it could capture a "1E feel" ala Necromancer's 3e products. Here's the quote from Necro's Clark that's pertinent: So you...

We have a winner. Cirno...enough already. Your post before the one I just quoted begins with "Like I said already...", and yet you proceed to repeat yourself. And then repeat yourself. Again. Yada, yada, yada...blah blah blah...we get it. Really, we do. You are upset that some people were...

Biggus Clarkus - I'm a 4e cheerleader too. I love it too. And here's one guy who sees no problem with anyone - anyone - trying to improve it or tweak it in any way they deem fit. And since I'm a born and bred 1e guy, I'm very interested to see what you do with it. The engine is there. It's...

Whoa. Sorry - I've been playing D&D (for once) instead of posting about playing D&D. Is Necro gonna do their own edition? PFRPG ain't at all my cup o' tea - is that what you're talking about? If not...color me curious. Would love to see what NG is gonna do. WP Edit: Nevermind. Wow. A...

I'm pretty sure the passive checks in 4e, in part, address these concerns. You don't need players to state they're checking every door, hallway, NPC, etc. You simply use their passive perception/insight/whatever and inform them if something is "off" about the situation. Sure, you can still...

I may be missing it, but it doesn't look like WotC lists the adventure levels for the various 4e adventures in Dungeon. I can't seem to find an index on Google for the latest issues. Ergo, does anyone know if any of the online 4e adventures are paragon-tier and, if so, which ones...

Awesome news, if it's true. I'll actually get to attend DDXP without having to resist the urge to jerk my car into a bridge abutment due to DC traffic.

Urza, Urza, Urza...your post is everything that's wrong about the internet.
