So, regardless of whether you're for 4e or for 3e or for C&C or for PF, I think most of us would agree that there last few months, in particular, have been ugly ones for EN World and the segment of the D&D community represented by the folks that frequent this site. There are a number of people...

Hehe. I think you did a better - and by 'better' I mean accurate - food-based metaphor in 2 lines than the OP did in 15. Btw, I hate mushrooms. Wis

Chris is a He. And I believe I read somewhere that he had thought about changing his name for some time (likely due to reasons that are his own), and simply decided to do it when he did because he wanted Chris Youngs as the name being associated with 4e. Wis

I certainly hope not, otherwise I wouldn't have seen it. Congrats to Wizards. Congrats to our hobby. Wis

Very, very fun. If that's your barometer for what system you should play, I think it's hard to beat 4e.

You know, my latest post isn't exactly true. What is different now is the negativity focused on certain persons. Before, those who didn't want to change 1e-2e or 2e-3e complained loudly to be sure, but their complaints were mainly directed at the company (TSR, WotC) and not their fellow...

I made the shift to 2E with my group and hardly remember it being a switch. Seemed the same game, only different art on the cover and blue text in the books. I was very excited about 2E -> 3E because I was not really gaming at that time and thought the changes, while significant, just looked...

And post #48.

I disagree, in part. These folks are a segment of the gaming community that is heavily bound in inertia due to previous investments in 3E. Despite the fact those 3E books on your shelf are a sunk cost, it's hard - for some, not all - to validate switching due to price constraints alone. Again...

1. Insert obligatory comments about validity of EN World polls. 2. Then mention: "Let's pretend we're drunk and assume those numbers are valid. The question becomes - 'Did WotC's marketing strategy with their new game bring in a greater number of gamers than those 39% that are not going 4E?'" 3...

I was asking you to prove your statement that you prefer these boards when they are "friendly" by, you know, being "friendly" yourself. Seems like as good a start as any. I bet if you dropped your bitterness at the door, and took away your negative posts, we'd see the "friendly" meter of the...

I'm not sure I understand the ugliness being thrown at the OP. I'm all for the newest edition of D&D, but that doesn't make me blind to the concerns held by those that aren't. I think his post was insightful, avoided the common hysteria or bitterness of such things, and generally brought up some...

Prove it.

MM p. 136: Bugbear Strangler has 82 hp, but Bloodied for 46. It should either be 92 hp, or Bloodied 41. Wis

Great post. I lurked in those days, to everyone's joy. Your post is one of the first I've read that really took me back, as I remember many of the same comments and emotions that you mentioned. I wish the 4e rollout would have been handled better. I wish the eDungeon and eDragon transition...

I'm sure this has probably been asked, but I can't find the answer. Can a paladin use his Lay on Hands ability on himself? Wis

I can play a 3.XX game until the cows come home, but I can't stomach DMing one anymore. I drank from the cup of 3E until I could drink no more, and the hangover has set in. So 4E it is. I'm in two groups (4 PCs, 8 PCs) and both are happy to move on and try something else. The 8 PC group, in...

I stand corrected. To be fair, however, I saw that coming. Shazam! W.P.

Anyone else tired of this schtick? What value is there in these types of posts? I challenge you, Lord Bryon, to go back through that last 20 posts you've had and see if any of them meet the following criteria: (1) an absence of negativity, and (2) a meaningful comment to the topic at hand...

Have you tried C&C? Seems like it may be your schtick. 4e and the numerous 3e derivatives likely won't scratch the itch. Anyway, I wish you well. I like to know there's folks still playing "old school" games out there, and I have a soft spot in my heart for those games as well. Wis
