Awesome ideas, fellas, thank you. Anyone have any experience with Valus or The Black Company? Both may help me with my "feel" of the gaming world, though I'm looking toward SL or DS for the geography/peoples.

Thanks to Mercurius and this thread for the list, which is copy and pasted below. I trimmed some of the settings I'm familiar with that simply do not seem to mesh with a PoL approach (but feel free to add them back if you disagree). I also marked those I think do best fit. Unfortunately, I'm...

Not only was a wrong, but I was wrong twice. That elevates me from ignorance to idiocy. Dangit. W.P.

Jeez. How many "third party campaign settings" are there? Can't be more than 15. Oathbound ain't supported because Oathbound ain't sellin'. If it sold, it'd have more support. Brilliant, I know. W.P.

Yep. In fact, if I were the DM - and I know you already said this isn't an option - I'd tell my buddy to leave the GF at home. One night away ain't gonna kill the relationship, but one wrong person can kill a campaign. W.P.

Tell you what - as sharp as this stuff appears on the web site, coupled with your past adventures, and - of course - the promise of a jig...I think we've got a deal. Wis

Wow. I must say - after a quick glance around your site - the artwork, layout, and presentation looks absolutely stunning. I can't take the palm of victory away from Paizo for being the best in the industry at those things, but your stuff looks to be of that caliber - or better! Come to 4E...

Crap aside, it's a valid concern. I don't want to spend that amount of time either, and that's coming from a guy who vomits when he sees the words "Use Rope" or "Forgery". I think the idea is to only have those types of complex skill checks for the big hurdles of the adventure, which is what's...

I was tempted to say: "Yes, they do." But, alas, I must save such retorts to do battle with the typical riffraff that enjoy raining on parades. Your posts, on the contrary, are witty and to the point. Plus, I generally agree with you, thus your opinions must be correct. Let us agree to...

Nope. (And thanks for giving me my opening.) Rel played (past tense) 3E/3.5E. He got tired of the complexity. He was done. Rel decided to move to oD&D. Those are the facts, Jack. The man was sick, the man was tired, the man returned to the birthplace of it all. More power to the man. The...

Review Rel posted he was quitting 3E and going back to oD&D for the less restrictive ruleset and the benefits he believe can be gained by doing such. He posted this in the 4E forum. Morrus switched it out and said it belonged in General. Various posters threw in their $.02, the obligatory...

Aha! This is what I have been waiting for! It's time for me to be the hero of EN World. NO ONE gets their account suspended more quickly than me. It's my name, dammit. In order to take the attention away from the in-fighting amongst the mods, I shall type up a witty, brilliant, and...

Great in theory, tough in practice. I'm not knocking your desire to go oD&D. I have had the same thing. And I acted on it. For a 1 or 2-night session, it was great fun. For an extended campaign...it was hard. Not on the DM, mind you, but on the players. There was little difference for...

Agreed. Wasn't my intention to suggest otherwise. W.P.

This whole "feels like D&D" is a tough one. Each individual's opinion is going to be different. I think 1E AD&D probably gives the most folks the most "D&D feel", but who knows? There's no way to find out. Each edition forward from that arbitrary starting point probably gets a little less of...

Well, to be fair, JD said 3E didn't feel like D&D to him, either. And he's hoping for better with 4E. And Ari seems to indicate that - yes, 4E *is* more like D&D. We must remember that JD's apparent definition of "D&D" is being able to do whatever he wants as a character, without having a...

Just wanted to give you guys a sincere thank you. What an awesome thread and resource. Question: m - regular melee attack (charges and opportunity attacks?), M - everything else melee, C - ? Being a 4E newbie, is there anywhere I can look that gives me a rundown of the standard monster...

:) :) :)

I don't know. Paizo is soliciting the support of the largest designing body there is - the players. And they single-handedly (IMO and all that) saved Dungeon and Dragon from obscurity and doom. While my group is going to give 4E a run for its money, I have little doubt the Paizo-lead effort...

Now that sounds interesting. Like others, I'm not a fan of a bandaged 3E. Anything new, innovative, and - of course - fun, would be welcome.
