Been playing since '78 as well. So we cancel each other out. 4E continues to take our game forward, just as the other editions have done (excepting, perhaps, 2E). With each move forward, people fall off. That's sad, but it's life. 4E is an unmitigated commercial success. Young people seem to...

I agree OP. I agree. We owe a lot to WotC, and to those gamers out there that are still rolling dice - irrespective of the system. Never be embarrassed or ask for apologies for being positive, man. Here's hoping others jump aboard the Love Train. Wis, who played D&D since 1978

I for one would like to see what EN World's "big names" have to say as well. That group would include the story hour authors of the most popular 3E campaigns: Piratecat (going 4E), Sepulchrave (unknown), Destan (unknown), Wulf Ratbane (unknown), Blackdirge (unknown), and because his high level...

I have nothing to add other than the remarkable fact that, for the first time I can recall, I actually agree with everything Dave the Mage just said. Love, gentlemen, is in the air. Wis

Companies usually do not make it a habit to report specific numbers to every Redgar and Tordek on internet message boards just because they asked, albeit politely. As The Kid said, you may - may - be able to find numbers in reports to shareholders. But I doubt it. No, all we have here is that...

Actually, I think I agree with you completely. I should have been clearer. 4E captures the "feel" of 1E for me, but I agree that it is a large departure mechanically. Probably moreso than 3E, which was a huge evolution in its own right. Ergo, mechanically: (4E -1E) > (3E - 1E) I'll say...

I can firmly state that Myth:TFL was the best game I have ever, ever played. I wasn't married at the time, and it nearly ruined the courtship. I turned pale from lack of sun. My hair was a tangled mess. I don't know if I even owned a toothbrush. My job, my girlfriend, my bills - all were...

PC - Did you playtest 4E? I know Henry did, and a couple other mods I think. But it would seem a no-brainer for WotC to have involved you and your group. I also believe you playtested 3E, no?

You don't have to buy the 4E is like 1E thing. In the end, it comes down to your own personal opinion. On these boards we seem to think that any opinion different from our own is categorically incorrect. I'm not point a finger at you, mind you - I'm just saying that it's a "feel" thing, not a...

Me too. I can't imagine 3.5 sold more than 3E. Larger initial print runs, sure, but 3E was the Daddy of those two. IMO. YMMV. Sorry for any offense this opinion causes. Wis

Nothing pleases me more than this: Cheers, The Old Fart

What the heck is that? On other news, I paid full price at Barnes & Noble for a PHB even though I had pre-ordered the gift set some time ago. Now I have it, which is cool, but I wish I had just been more patient. Woulda saved me a couple bucks. Wis

Look, I'm happy the design and development direction of 4E has attracted an unheralded customer base. I'm hopeful some of those customers are new gamers or gamers from 1E who are returning to the fold (like myself). Every indication is that it's a huge success on many levels. Great. But...and...

I did this with a homebrew campaign. I was in love with Myth - especially Myth TFL and, to a slightly lesser extent, Myth SB. The game borrows much of its theme from Glen Cook's excellent Black Company series, so that's another source you may want to pillage for ideas. My only regret is that I...

Don't lessen the drama with the inclusion of facts or reason, please.

The one that somehow, in some way, managed to provide a game with tons of different rules without having the rules become greater than the game. The one that allowed DMs to enjoy and bask in the wonder of their creations without engaging in: (a) an arms races with "magic can break any...

PHB, p. 71. Level 23 Enc Prayer - Haunting Strike Level 27 Enc Prayer - Punishing Strike They are identical except the level difference and other than the fact the L23 Enc Prayer give a +2 power bonus whereas the higher L27 Enc Prayer does not. In other words - they are the same Power...

The thing I hate about 4E is that there's not more information - they could and should have tripled the length of the powers, feats, etc. lists. I don't care how big the book got. I also dislike the political correctness of mixing gender pronouns. Stupid. Otherwise than the political...

4E is as close to 1E as any E except 1E itself. Figure that out. And I, personally, loved 1E and am giggling like a school girl now that the new edition brings us back to those heady days. 4E: When DMs Strike Back. Wis

Right. So the techno aspects aren't ready. That was known and, while unfortunate, seemingly understood. But why not a digital version of Dragon and Dungeon? Wis
